Modelling convective precipitation – progress and challenges
Exciting improvements in modelling convective precipitation are being achieved through the collaboration of visiting scientist Tobias Becker, from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, with ECMWF’s Irina Sandu and Peter Bechtold.
What next for machine learning in weather forecasting?
The use of machine learning in numerical weather prediction is on the rise. In a lecture on 10 December 2019, ECMWF scientist Peter Düben set out the main use cases and charted the way ahead.
Modelling and data communities meet at ECMWF to advance hydrology
More than a hundred modellers and satellite data specialists in the field of hydrology came together at ECMWF from 25 to 28 November to debate new ideas and deepen collaborations.
ECMWF at the AGU Fall Meeting 2019
ECMWF is contributing to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in San Francisco, USA (9 to 13 December 2019) with presentations, exhibitions and posters. Find out where you can meet us during the AGU week.
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.
Highlighted tweet
Registration is open for the workshop “Warm conveyor belts - a challenge to forecasting”. Join us in Reading from 10-12 March 2020 to help tackle the challenges of WCBs. Find out more: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/learning/workshops/workshop-warm-conveyor-belts-challenge-forecasting #WCBWS
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.
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.
