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.

Space shmace... when are we going to get onboard with that 'weaponizing the weather' thing?
I mean, imagine if we could project Wainwright weather to defeat our enemies before we even got there
Unnatural Disasters: The Next Front in Russia’s Hybrid War
Russia could go beyond acts of sabotage in Europe this decade to secretly deploy solar geoengineering technologies, stoking disorder by destabilising the region's climate.
Once confined to science fiction, solar geoengineering is now moving into real-world experimentation, raising the risk of misuse by hostile actors. Also known as solar radiation management, this set of novel technologies – such as stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening – aims to artificially slow the rise in global temperatures by reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth’s surface. To date, their primary purpose has been to tackle the symptoms of accelerating climate change. However, these technologies also pose dual-use risks: alongside unintended environmental consequences, they could be exploited by powers seeking to tilt the geopolitical balance to cause climate-related disruption.
As the UK government prioritises investment in solar geoengineering research and development, it has a crucial window to help shape international norms. Without adequate safeguards, these technologies could become tools of geopolitical coercion in the years ahead.
