Canada has used various sound models in the past, and is working on selecting/developing a newer version for the future. Back end stuff like this never makes the headlines, even in the CAF publications, but Director Meteorology and Oceanography (D Met Oc) is always working with national and international partners on these sorts of things behind the scenes.

Weather (including Space Weather and Oceanography) doesn't matter, until it really matters. The CAF has allowed too much of our capability to wither, but there is a hard push to get back into reasonable shape in these fields.

We've been working with the Met folks to develop a Space Weather capability. Apart from just pulling data from the US.

Yes like getting caught in a spring snow storm - the ones that soak you and freeze you at the same time.

It was one of the big pushes from D Met Oc before I left a little while back, so hopefully things are progressing well.
