Default German model name: GME

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?
(PS .. I don't think its 'Unified' as my dictionary gives the German for
that as "vereinheitlicht")

"GME - Globales Modell Ersatz" which google translates as "Global
Model Replacement". Perhaps Colin would confirm or correct this?

Cheers

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".

Regards,
Gunter

Günter Rampe has answered the question elsewhere in the thread. Ersatz =
replacement or substitute. Your Google translation is menacingly accurate.
Am I soon to be out of a job ?
