Water Cycle Prediction System - Ocean-Atmosphere

Water Cycle Prediction System - Ocean-Atmosphere WCPS-coupled forecast is the component in the Water Cycle Prediction System (WCPS) that provides the coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice forecasts at a 1km resolution (0.008 x 0.008 degree) over the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It launches 4 times a day at 00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC and produces 84 hours forecast, based on the atmospheric model GEM, coupled with the ocean-ice model NEMO-CICE. The products from WCPS-coupled forecasts are (1) GEM : surface air temperatures, surface wind velocities, and surface runoff (2) NEMO-CICE : variety of lake/ocean sea ice variables, for example, lake levels and temperatures. They are designed to help forecasters issuing bulletins and warnings in ice-infestested waters for navigation, water level alert, emergency response, Search and Rescue, and CIS Sea Ice forecast. 2024-04-10 Environment and Climate Change Canada ECWeather-Meteo@ec.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyAtmosphereDeterministicMeteorological dataWeatherForecastingOceansSeasLakesRiversProvide Weather Information Products and ServicesDeliver Weather Products and Services to ClientsMeteorological Service of CanadaWeather and Environmental OperationsUnclassifiedNational (CA) MSC DatamartNetCDF https://dd.weather.gc.ca/model_wcps/ocean-atmosphere/ MSC DatamartNetCDF https://dd.meteo.gc.ca/model_wcps/ocean-atmosphere/ MSC Datamart AMQPNetCDF amqps://dd.weather.gc.ca/model_wcps.ocean-atmosphere.# MSC Datamart AMQPNetCDF amqps://dd.meteo.gc.ca/model_wcps.ocean-atmosphere.# MSC Open Data documentationHTML https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/msc-data/nwp_wcps/readme_wcps_en/ MSC Open Data documentationHTML https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/msc-data/nwp_wcps/readme_wcps_fr/
