Science blog
Read our blog for a scientist’s perspective on different areas of ECMWF’s work. Recent posts cover the use of satellite data in weather forecasting and our involvement in European projects to develop global storm-resolving Earth system models and to help prepare the weather and climate community for large-scale machine learning applications.
ECMWF’s role in the Copernicus Emergency Management Service renewed
ECMWF is to continue as the computational centre for the hydrological forecasting activities of the EU-funded Copernicus Emergency Management Service for a further six years. The computational centre helps to deliver the European and Global Flood Awareness Systems, EFAS and GloFAS.
Summer 2021 Newsletter published
The summer 2021 issue of the ECMWF Newsletter is now available. As well as news about ECMWF staff and events, it features articles about new developments and the use that can be made of ECMWF products.
In focus
Articles presenting ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas and fact sheets on topics including ocean wave forecasting, Earth system modelling and data assimilation, reanalysis, and ECMWF's use of satellite observations.
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.
