SCIENCE BLOG: ERA5: the new reanalysis of weather and climate data
Within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), ECMWF is producing a detailed record of the evolution of the global atmosphere from 1950 onwards, using a method called reanalysis.

Experts debate progress in limited-area modelling
Over 90 scientists from European national meteorological services and ECMWF came together at the Centre from 2 to 5 October 2017 to talk about convection and other topics in limited-area modelling.
New climate reanalysis simulates Great Storm of 1987
A new climate reanalysis produced by the ECMWF-run Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has reconstructed the Great Storm that hit Britain in October 1987 in much more detail than was possible in the 1980s.
Sharing forecasts and knowledge in emergency situations
To mark the International Day for Disaster Reduction, we look at how ECMWF collaborates with the WMO to help reduce people’s exposure to weather-related disasters.

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
Strong winds helped wildfires to spread in California, contributing to high values in EFFIS CopernicusEMS 5-day fire danger forecast.
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.
