Global Atmospheric Model

The ECMWF Atmospheric Global Circulation is a general atmospheric model that describes the dynamical evolution of the atmosphere worldwide.   It is executed at resolutions appropriate for medium-range (currently 9km), extended range (currently 36km), and seasonal forecasts (currently 36km).  The model uses the most accurate estimate of the current conditions.  It has the most up-to-date description of the model physics and includes atmospheric dynamical processes and a representation of the stratosphere.  Throughout execution it employs modelled land surface conditions (e.g. snow cover, soil moisture, vegetation, etc.), and ocean conditions (e.g. sea-surface temperature, sea ice, etc.).  Together these help deliver Rossby wave propagation, weather regime changes, etc.
