Annual Seminar puts spotlight on Earth system data assimilation
Nineteen speakers presented progress and challenges in Earth system data assimilation at ECMWF’s Annual Seminar from 10 to 13 September 2018. More than a hundred participants attended this flagship event in ECMWF’s calendar.
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.
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
The 1-day Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) forecast showed anomalously high wind gusts for parts of Europe from #stormAli. In the south red areas are focused over land; computations can now identify when conditions will be highly unusual over land but less unusual over the sea.
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.
