CCCma (Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis) is a division of the Climate Research Branch of the Meteorological Service of Canada of Environment Canada based out of the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia. Its purpose is to contribute to research in climate modelling and climate change. Since 2000, CCCma has produced three atmosphere and three coupled atmosphere-ocean GCMs.
