Copernicus releases new global reanalysis of atmospheric composition
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service implemented by ECMWF has released a new global reanalysis of atmospheric composition for the period 2003–2016.
Annual Seminar focuses on assimilating Earth observations into models
ECMWF’s Annual Seminar on ‘Earth system assimilation’ opened on 10 September. One of the speakers at the four-day event, ECMWF scientist Dinand Schepers, trained as an aerospace engineer before moving into Earth observations and their assimilation into Earth system models.
Diverse project work in focus
Articles in this section present ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas, including work to monitor the composition of our atmosphere and human CO2 emissions, initiatives to reduce exposure to weather-related disasters, and research into improving energy-efficiency in NWP models.

Forecast charts and data
We provide current forecasts, climate reanalyses and specific datasets. These are available via the web, point-to-point dissemination, data servers and broadcasting.
Plot of the week
ECMWF simulated satellite image of Hurricane #Florence at 12 UTC Sunday 9 September 2018. Dropsondes launched from US hurricane reconnaissance aircraft to measure the storm's properties were used in ECMWF’s forecasting system; these are shown as blue triangles.
Datasets
Forecasts, analyses, climate re-analyses, reforecasts and multi-model data are available from our archive (MARS) or via dedicated data servers or via point-to-point dissemination.
Accessing forecasts
Researchers, WMO members, commercial users and satellite data providers can gain access to ECMWF forecast products under one of our various license agreement types.
Advancing weather science
Education is a key element of our work at ECMWF, enabling our partners to get the most from ECMWF's services and develop an advanced understanding of forecasting.
