Dozens of ECMWF scientists have prepared presentations for the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2020 from 4 to 8 May, which will take place as an online event this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following is an overview of the sessions involving ECMWF scientists as the main conveners or authors of presentations (all times are Central European Summer Time, CEST; 'Highlight' means an abstract has been selected by session conveners as being of public interest):
