Global Ensemble Prediction System
The Global Ensemble Prediction System (GEPS) carries out physics calculations to arrive at probabilistic predictions of atmospheric elements from the current day out to 16 days into the future (up to 39 days twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays at 00UTC for calculating forecast anomalies). The GEPS produces different outlooks (scenarios) to estimate the forecast uncertainties due to the nonlinear (chaotic) behavior of the atmosphere. The probabilistic predictions are based on an ensemble of 20 scenarios that differ in their initial conditions, their physics parameters which are randomly perturbed by a Stochastic Parameter Perturbation (SPP) method, and the stochastic perturbations (kinetic energy). A control member that is not perturbed is also available. Weather elements include temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed and direction, humidity and others. This product contains raw numerical results of these calculations. Geographical coverage is global. Data is available on some fifteen vertical levels on a global latitude-longitude uniform grid with 0.5 degree horizontal resolution (about 39km). Predictions are performed twice a day.
Forecasted Basin-Average Accumulated Precipitation - GEPS 384 hrs
Shows sub-basin-averaged precipitation from the GEPS ensemble, reflecting the mean (or other metrics) of multiple ensemble members. Useful to understand probabilistic rainfall/snowfall expectations for each watershed.GEPS is ECCC’s ensemble system, running ~20 members globally to quantify forecast uncertainty out to ~16 days. This layer aggregates ensemble precipitation data over sub-basin polygons. The attribute “Average Accumulated Precipitation” often represents the ensemble mean, capturing a more probable average scenario. Operators can use this for risk-based hydrological planning or to gauge confidence in upcoming flood/drought scenarios across different sub-basins.
GEPS Forecasted Accumulated Precipitation - 384 hrs
This polygon layer displays ensemble-based, medium-range precipitation forecasts from the Global Ensemble Prediction System (GEPS), offering a probabilistic view of future rainfall or snowfall over a 16‑day horizon. It aids in uncertainty analysis, risk assessment, and strategic resource planning.Ensemble Approach: GEPS runs multiple perturbed members of ECCC’s GEM model, capturing a range of atmospheric evolutions and yielding probability distributions for precipitation. Global Domain: Similar coverage to the GDPS but focuses on ensemble mean, spreads, and probabilities rather than a single deterministic outcome. Longer-Range Outlook: Extends up to 16 days, supporting risk-based planning for potential floods, extended rainfall events, or dryness. Data Utility: Allows decision-makers to weigh confidence levels in precipitation scenarios, vital for water management, agriculture, and emergency contingency strategies.
Range Units
A Range Unit is an administrative area established to assist in the management of the range program. Typically made up of one or more pastures. Generally, one or more Range Units make up a Stock Range
Stock Range
A Stock Range is an administrative area established to coincide with local livestock association areas. Generally, stock ranges are made up of one or more range units. Stock ranges are found in select areas of the province where applicable; not all areas of the province contain stock ranges

Forest Elevation(Ht) Mean (2015)
Forest Elevation(Ht) Mean 2015Mean height of lidar first returns (m). Represents the mean canopy height. It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). Products relating the structure of Canada's forested ecosystems have been generated and made openly accessible. The shared products are based upon peer-reviewed science and relate aspects of forest structure including: (i) metrics calculated directly from the lidar point cloud with heights normalized to heights above the ground surface (e.g., canopy cover, height), and (ii) modelled inventory attributes, derived using an area-based approach generated by using co-located ground plot and ALS data (e.g., volume, biomass). Forest structure estimates were generated by combining information from lidar plots (Wulder et al. 2012) with Landsat pixel-based composites (White et al. 2014; Hermosilla et al. 2016) using a nearest neighbour imputation approach with a Random Forests-based distance metric. These products were generated for strategic-level forest monitoring information needs and are not intended to support operational-level forest management. All products have a spatial resolution of 30 m. For a detailed description of the data, methods applied, and accuracy assessment results see Matasci et al. (2018).

Ministry of Transportation (MOT) Regional Boundary
Ministry of Transportation Regional Boundary is an exclusive geographic area within the province that the Ministry organizational unit is responsible for. Each Ministry Region is partitioned into one or more non-overlapping Ministry Districts that cover the entire Ministry Region
YEC Power distribution lines
YEC Power Distribution Lines depict Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) primary distribution lines. These lines distribute lower voltage electrical power between Power Substations and consumers (e.g. communities, mines). This data was provided by YEC and will be updated when new primary distribution lines are constructed.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

FADM - Public Sustained Yield Units
The spatial representation for a Public Sustained Yield Unit, which is an area of Crown land, usually a natural topographic unit determined by drainage areas, managed for sustained yield by the Crown through the Ministry of Forests. It includes all Crown lands within the currently established boundaries of the unit and excludes federal lands, provincial parks, experimental forest reserves, gazetted watersheds and tree farm licences. Crown land designated as a public sustained yield unit under Section 6 of the Forest Act. A portion of a TSA
