Anniversary
Since its creation in 1975, ECMWF has worked very closely with its Member and Co-operating States, as well as partners around the world to improve numerical weather prediction and related sciences. More recently, ECMWF has built a close partnership with the European Union and delivers on its behalf the Copernicus Climate Change and Atmosphere Monitoring Services, and is also part of the Destination Earth Initiative. We will mark the 50th anniversary of ECMWF in 2025 with a series of publications and events highlighting some of the key scientific achievements of ECMWF in collaboration with its Member States.
Anemoi: a new framework for weather forecasting based on machine learning
A range of national meteorological services across Europe and ECMWF have launched Anemoi, a framework for creating machine learning weather forecasting systems. Named after the Greek gods of the winds, Anemoi is a collaborative, open-source initiative.
WeatherGenerator project aims to recast machine learning for Earth system modelling
ECMWF is coordinating an EU Horizon project called WeatherGenerator which aims to use machine learning in novel ways for weather forecasting and to model related Earth system processes.
Developing the modelling of greenhouse gases in the IFS
Anna Agustí-Panareda has spent the last few years modelling greenhouse gases in ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). She now helps to develop a system to monitor anthropogenic emissions of these gases.
Machine learning to play growing role in weather forecasting, says DG
Machine learning is set to play a growing role in numerical weather prediction, but physics-based forecasting techniques will continue to be important, ECMWF’s Director-General Florence Rabier has said in an interview.
ECMWF at EMS2024
At the 2024 Annual Meeting of the European Meteorological Society (EMS), ECMWF will present developments in Earth system modelling from across the organisation.
News highlights January to July 2024
ECMWF news highlights in the first seven months of 2024 include updates on forthcoming improvements in the Integrated Forecasting System, initiatives to drive forward weather science, and news from the EU-funded services implemented by ECMWF.
Summer 2024 Newsletter published
The summer 2024 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.
How to optimise the computing aspects of numerical weather forecasts
Ioan Hadade specialises in high-performance computing. His skills are essential to make our numerical weather forecasts run efficiently on our high-performance computing facility in Bologna, Italy.
