CCCma (Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis) is a division of the Climate Research Branch of the
Meteorological Service of Canada ofEnvironment Canada based out of theUniversity of Victoria ,Victoria, British Columbia . Its purpose is to contribute to research inclimate modelling andclimate change . Since2000 , CCCma has produced three atmosphere and three coupled atmosphere-ocean GCMs.Models
* AGCM1 The first generation atmospheric general circulation model
* AGCM2 The second generation atmospheric general circulation model
* AGCM3 The third generation atmospheric general circulation model, uses theCanadian Land Surface Scheme
* CGCM1 The first generation coupled global climate model
* CGCM2 The second generation coupled global climate model
