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.
