The latest extended-range forecast model from Salient. Operational and reforecast datasets now available.
Output variables cover key surface fields and atmospheric dynamics. See documentation for details.
2 m instantaneous; timestep min, max, and mean.
Mean precipitation rate and snowfall rate.
10 m and 100 m mean wind speed; 10 m max gusts; 100m u/v instantaneous components.
Surface downward shortwave flux; total cloud cover.
Mean sea-level pressure; 500 hPa geopotential.
ENSO, MJO, QBO, and ZMZW indices.
15-day benchmark CRPS scores against ECMWF ENS, ECMWF AIFS, and Google WeatherNext. Scores computed over July 2025 to March 2026. GEMv3 outperforms ECMWF ENS across all variables, is competitive with other state-of-the-art AI models on large-scale dynamics, and achieves best in class performance on 2m temperature, particularly the sub-timestep aggregations which GEMv3 outputs natively.
