Anyone know what the 'E' stands for in the GME - the GM I assume is
Global Modell, but trying to plough through the DWD site I can't find
out what the final 'E' might stand for ... anyone any ideas?

The 'E' stands for 'Ersatz', which means replacement of both the old
Global Model GM and the regional European Model EM
From
http://www.dwd.de/de/FundE/Veroeffen..._27_3_4_k1.pdf

(in German)

There is also a description of the DWD NWP-System in English
http://www.dwd.de/en/FundE/Veroeffen...new/part_2.pdf
but there you don't get to know what the 'E' stands for.

It seems that the official term of GME is only 'Global Model".
