Better glimpses of the future with global storm-resolving simulations
Irina Sandu and Bjorn Stevens present a European effort to build the next generation of Earth system models in the H2020 project NextGEMS.
How super-site observations help improve ECMWF forecasts
ECMWF researchers have used detailed soil and weather observations up to about 200 metres above ground from several observational super-sites in Europe to assess and improve different aspects of our weather forecasts.
An extraordinary ‘Using ECMWF’s Forecasts 2021’ event
The second fully virtual Using ECMWF’s Forecasts event was held from 1 to 4 June 2021. The meeting attracted people from all over the world to discuss and provide feedback on ECMWF products and services.
ECMWF synoptic-style weather charts – a set of tools to help forecast adverse weather
Updated in May 2021, ECMWF’s extratropical cyclone database products provide forecasters with familiar synoptic-style charts. They show fronts and low-pressure (cyclonic) weather systems that can be associated with hazardous conditions such as strong winds, snow and rain.
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
ECMWF has implemented an upgrade of its Integrated Forecasting System, including a move from double to single precision and an increase in the vertical resolution of ensemble forecasts. #IFS47r2 #newfcsystem Find out more here: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2021/forecast-upgrade-i...
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.
