The 2018 ECMWF HPC workshop – making progress on scalability
The issue of scalability will feature as the headline topic at this year's ECMWF high-performance computing (HPC) workshop in September. Here Peter Bauer, head of ECMWF’s Scalability Programme, talks about what is perhaps the biggest revolution in numerical weather prediction since computer-based forecasts began.
Annual Seminar to focus on Earth system data assimilation
ECMWF’s Annual Seminar 2018 will be devoted to the assimilation of observations to initialise forecasts of the different components of the Earth system. Registration is open until 27 July.
Spring 2018 Newsletter published
The spring 2018 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.
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.
Plot of the week
ECMWF's extended-range forecast showed a clear signal of warm anomalies 8 to 14 days ahead of the unusually warm weather we've been seeing over Europe this week.
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.
Advancing weather science
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.
