GDPS Forecasted Accumulated Precipitation - 168 & 240 hrs
This polygon layer provides medium-range (up to 10 days) accumulated precipitation forecasts from the Global Deterministic Prediction System (GDPS), a worldwide numerical weather model run by Environment and Climate Change Canada. It addresses broad-scale weather systems and supplies boundary conditions for nested regional models.
Global Scope: The GDPS covers the entire planet at ~15 km resolution, projecting large-scale atmospheric developments over a 240-hour window. Coupled Model: Integrates atmospheric and oceanic interactions, improving forecast accuracy for cyclones, frontal systems, and long-traveling storm patterns. Operational Backbone: Frequently used as a reference for regional or local models (e.g., RDPS) and for medium-range planning in water resource management or agriculture. Forecast Frequency: Runs twice daily, producing deterministic outputs that guide meteorologists, hydrologists, and emergency preparedness teams.
