Science blog
Our science blog posts give a scientist’s perspective on different areas of ECMWF’s work, with topics ranging from high-performance computing, single precision computer calculations, satellite data assimilation and reanalysis to the prediction of flood and fire risk.
ECMWF user meeting puts emphasis on creativity and interaction
Creative and interactive sessions took pride of place in this year’s Using ECMWF’s Forecasts meeting, which took place at the Centre from 3 to 6 June. The meetings give ECMWF data users an opportunity to learn about the Centre’s plans, new products and services.
Upgrade improves global air quality forecasts
The global forecasting system of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) was successfully upgraded on 9 July, making air quality forecasts more accurate and robust. CAMS is implemented by ECMWF on behalf of the EU.
In focus
Articles presenting ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas, from our graduate training programme and support for national and international initiatives to information on publications such as our User Guide.
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
European #redskies on the morning of 3 June were caused by the transport of smoke from Alberta wildfires in the polar jet.
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.
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.
