Large-scale machine learning applications for weather and climate
The machine learning for scalable meteorology and climate (MAELSTROM) project began in April 2021. Peter Dueben, project coordinator, talks about its aims and the importance of co-design projects for concerted developments of applications, software, and hardware design.
ECMWF addresses underprediction of tropical storms in seasonal forecasts
A change in ECMWF’s seasonal prediction system SEAS5 has reduced the underprediction of tropical storms. Frédéric Vitart had a key role in developing it.
Data to inform policy-making: discussing climate challenges with Spain
The latest climate projections for the coming decades are now available in the Climate Data Store of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). A special event for decision-makers in Spain explored how such C3S climate data can help drive solutions for water and energy sectors.
Fact sheet: Earth system modelling at ECMWF
ECMWF’s Earth system model aims to represent interactions between as many Earth system components as required, at the necessary level of complexity and as initialised by data assimilation, to achieve the Centre’s forecasting goals.
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
Do you use ECMWF products and services? Come and share your experiences at our annual user meeting #UEF2021, taking place virtually 1-4 June. https://events.ecmwf.int/e/UEF2021
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.
