Visit to a DWD super-site helps understand sources of near-surface temperature biases
Polly Schmederer looks at how measurements from observational super-sites are helping to better understand errors in forecasts of near-surface temperature.
ECMWF launches new weather- and climate-related coding challenges
ECMWF has published the challenges for its third Summer of Weather Code (ESoWC). Applicants have until 22 April 2020 to submit proposals for weather- and climate-related projects that address the challenges of handling large amounts of data and transforming it into information.
European multi-hazard service moves towards operations
Experts from four research and forecasting centres met at ECMWF on 4 and 5 February 2020 to drive forward the creation of a 24/7 European multi-hazard virtual advice service for natural disasters.

Highlighted tweet
ECMWF's 19th Workshop on HPC in meteorology will be in Bologna in 2020 from 14 to 18 September. Registration for this ever popular workshop is now open, don’t miss the deadline. https://www.ecmwf.int/en/learning/workshops/19th-workshop-high-performance-computing-meteorology #HPCWS2020 #exascale #supercomputing #scalability #HPC #AI #machinelearning
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.
Workshops and education
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.
ECMWF workshops are open to the worldwide meteorological community, though some training is restricted to member states.
Serving meteorology
International collaboration is fundamental to the work of ECMWF, working with the EU and the meteorological community at large, including the World Meteorological Organization, space agencies, and scientists around the world.
