GEM Modeling Challenge

The GEM community has recognized that due to the maturity and the increasing complexity of the state-of-the-art global space weather models, there is a great need for a systematic and quantitative evaluation of different GGCM modeling approaches. In summer 2008 the GGCM Metrics and Validation Focus Group initiated the GGCM modeling Challenge. The goals of the Challenge:

Evaluate the current state of the space science models and track model improvements over time
Facilitate interaction between research and operation communities
Facilitate collaboration among modelers and data providers and research communities.
Facilitate further model improvement.

The project focuses on various scientific and operational aspects of GGCM model performance and addresses challenges of model-data comparisons and metrics studies (e.g., model output and observational time series preparation for comparison, measurement uncertainty, metrics selection).
