About us
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is an independent intergovernmental organisation supported by 35 states. ECMWF is both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing and disseminating numerical weather predictions to its Member States. This data is fully available to the national meteorological services in the Member States. The Centre also offers a catalogue of forecast data that can be purchased by businesses worldwide and other commercial customers. The supercomputer facility (and associated data archive) at ECMWF is one of the largest of its type in Europe and Member States can use 25% of its capacity for their own purposes. The organisation was established in 1975 and now employs around 500 staff from more than 30 countries. ECMWF is one of the six members of the Co-ordinated Organisations, which also include the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Council of Europe (CoE), the European Space Agency (ESA), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

The #CopernicusClimate Change Service (#C3S) has published its monthly climate bulletin for August 2024, with data on sea ice extent. Last month: ❄️ #Antarctic sea ice extent was 7% below average, the second-lowest extent for August on record. ❄️ #Arctic sea ice was 17% below average, ranking fourth lowest for August on record, and distinctly lower than in 2021-2023. ❄️ Sea ice concentration anomalies were below average across virtually all of the Arctic Ocean. For more information, including access to the data, graphs and maps, see the monthly bulletin page on the C3S website. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8Vjmqpj

Our Workshop on Diagnostics for Global Weather Prediction runs next week from 9 to 12 September. Diagnostics are used throughout weather forecasting. They can identify problems, aid model development, and highlight successes. During the workshop we will discuss how novel diagnostics can help improve ensemble systems and their underlying Earth system models (ESM). Themes of the workshop include: 👉 Diagnostics of predictability 👉 Processes 👉 Machine learning 👉 Community packages 💻 For more information and to watch the livestream ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eerCKpix

🌍🌐 Our team for Destination Earth (DestinE) is at #EMS2024 with two insightful presentations on the advances of our Weather-Induced Extremes Digital Twin (Extremes DT). Join the #DestinE sessions with speaker Estíbaliz Gascón to find out more about the future of extreme weather forecasting. If you are a registered participant of this year’s EMS, you can attend the following DestinE talks either in person in Barcelona or online: 📅 Thursday, 5 September, 11:45-12:00 CEST, Maximizing Added Value in Extreme Weather Forecasting, Lecture Room B5 👉This presentation will showcase a number of European severe weather events which demonstrate the predictive capacity of the Extremes DT. The selected cases will also provide insights into how enhanced model resolution adds value to forecast accuracy for critical events like wind gusts and precipitation. 📅 Thursday, 5 September, 16:00-16:15 CEST, Enhancing Extreme Weather Forecasts: Diagnostic Strategies in ECMWF's Destination Earth Initiative, Aula Magna 👉 In this presentation, we will uncover the diagnostic techniques used to identify and address shortcomings in the Extremes DT global forecasts. We will focus on understanding the model developments needed to reduce model errors, ultimately improving the quality of the Extremes DT simulations. ⛈️ The Extremes DT provides a unique capability to forecast and monitor extreme weather events worldwide within a five-day range with unprecedented precision.

🌍🌐 Curious about how different sectors can benefit from the Destination Earth (#DestinE) digital twins? We partnered with more than 100 institutions across Europe for the development of DestinE’s #DigitalTwins of the planet. Following a co-design approach means engaging with end users from the start and collecting their feedback, needs and priorities, helping shape this ambitious initiative of the EU (EU Digital & Tech). Many different sectors have already demonstrated the potential added value of DestinE digital twin data. Examples include: 🔋 Management of energy systems or renewable energy production ⛈️ Disaster risks (floods, storms, wildfires) 🏙️ Public health (urban heat stress, air quality) The first phase of DestinE (2022–2024) demonstrated that it can be a meaningful source of #climate and weather information for different target sectors. In our latest article, we review some key developments of our DestinE partnerships and use cases during phase 1. Find out more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eZdbbdyv
