We are an intergovernmental organisation supported by 34 States. We provide operational medium- and extended-range forecasts and a state-of-the-art super-computing facility for scientific research. We pursue scientific and technical collaboration with satellite agencies and with the European Commission.

Development of a new ECMWF website

03 May 2012 ECMWF’s web services were initially developed in 2002 to provide members of the public and our Member States with greater and more flexible access to ECMWF information and forecast data. Our users and members of the public now have higher expectations of what should be available to them via the website and the level of service that should be provided.

MACC-II General Assembly

07 March 2012 From 27 February until 2 March 2012, ECMWF hosted the final General Assembly of the European project Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate (MACC) combined with the kick-off Assembly of its follow-on project MACC-II. The aim of the meeting was to review and present the achievements of MACC as well as the plans for the coming year for MACC-II.

Co-operation agreement with RIMES

13 February 2012 A co-operation agreement between ECMWF and the Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (RIMES) entered into force on 8 February 2012. The purpose of the agreement is to establish a general framework for the exchange of information and of expertise between the Parties.

Second weekly run of monthly forecasts

30 November 2011 A second weekly run of the ECMWF monthly forecast has been introduced, running every Monday (00 UTC) to provide an update to the main Thursday run. Products are provided to the ECMWF Member and Co-operating States and to commercial users. The monthly forecasts are an integral part of the Ensemble Prediction System (EPS) and provide outlooks up to 32 days ahead.
