Together with ECC Canada, the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Ocean works to develop and implement coupled computer models. These models provide numerical estimate of ocean and ice conditions in the past, present and future.

They develop:

  • an atmosphere-ice-ocean prediction system for the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which produces daily estimates of the ice ocean conditions and 48 hr forecasts four times a day,
  • a Global Ice Ocean Prediction System (GIOPS) is now in place to provide estimates of sea ice and ocean conditions and daily 10 day forecasts over the world’s oceans,
  • a Regional Ice Ocean Prediction System (RIOPS) that provides estimates of sea ice and ocean conditions and daily 48 hr forecasts over the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans.

Address: 80 E White Hills Rd, St John’s, Canada.
