New insights into polar observing systems using numerical models
Irina Sandu and François Massonnet (Université Catholique de Louvain) discuss polar observations, their impact on forecasting, and how the development of observing systems goes hand in hand with the development of numerical prediction systems.
ECMWF at the AMS Annual Meeting 2021
ECMWF is contributing to the American Meteorological Society (AMS) 101st Annual Meeting, being held virtually from 10 to 15 January 2021. Find out when our staff are presenting talks and posters during AMS101.
News highlights of 2020
ECMWF news highlights of 2020 include an upgrade of ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System; a new supercomputer contract; projects and workshops to drive forward weather science; updates on the EU-funded Copernicus services implemented by ECMWF; and new offices to be located in Bonn.
In focus
Articles presenting ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas and fact sheets on topics including ocean wave forecasting, Earth system 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
Full documentation is now available for Cycle 47r1 of ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), which became operational in July this year. IFS documentation #IFS47r1
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.
