Visit to a DWD super-site helps understand sources of near-surface temperature biases
Polly Schmederer looks at how measurements from observational super-sites are helping to better understand errors in forecasts of near-surface temperature.
ECMWF releases 40-year dataset on weather-induced thermal stress
ECMWF has released global data on weather-induced, outdoor thermal stress and discomfort in human beings covering the period from 1979 to today. The data have been calculated using weather information from ECMWF’s ERA5 reanalysis.

Highlighted tweet
ECMWF's 19th Workshop on HPC in meteorology will be in Bologna in 2020 from 14 to 18 September. Registration for this ever popular workshop is now open, don’t miss the deadline. https://ecmwf.int/en/learning/workshops/19th-workshop-high-performance-computing-meteorology #HPCWS2020 #exascale #supercomputing #scalability #HPC #AI #machinelearning
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.
