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).

🌍🌐 New podcast episode on Destination Earth’s (#DestinE) digital twins available. 🎙 irina sandu, our Director of Destination Earth at ECMWF, talked about the European Union’s (EU Digital & Tech) ambitious initiative to build digital twins of the Earth on the WeatherPod. This podcast episode, hosted by the experienced scientists Dr. Alan Thorpe and Dr. David Rogers, delves into the initiative and ECMWF’s involvement in it. Irina focused on the role of ECMWF in delivering and implementing the first two, high priority digital twins on Weather-induced Extremes and Climate Change Adaptation as well as the Digital Twin Engine, the software infrastructure behind the digital twins, together with nearly 100 partners throughout Europe. The discussion also revolved around the hot topics of AI and machine learning. She highlights: “We feed continuously the latest science and technology advances into the digital twins so that they remain at the cutting-edge. AI brings fascinating opportunities to complement what we are already doing with the physical models.” Other topics included the synergies with existing national meteorological and climate services and other European initiatives, the added value of digital twins’ vis-a-vis the current weather forecasting and climate projection systems and much more.

🌍🌐 Destination Earth (#DestinE) is nominated for the HPCwire Readers’ Choice Awards 2024! DestinE’s digital twins of the Earth developed by ECMWF together with many partners across Europe have been nominated by users and shortlisted by the leading news source for high- performance computing HPCwire in two categories: 🌐 Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences 🌐 Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement These nominations reflect the innovative use of high-performance computing (HPC) in the DestinE initiative of the European Union (EU Digital & Tech), implemented by us at ECMWF, European Space Agency - ESA and EUMETSAT, together with over 100 institutions across Europe. In the “Best Use of HPC in Physical Sciences” category, DestinE is recognised for its use of HPE supercomputing to produce high-resolution climate simulations. The DestinE digital twin models are designed to anticipate environmental impacts and provide insights for energy, food, and health sectors, as well as mitigation strategies. The nomination in the “Top HPC-Enabled Scientific Achievement” category is specifically for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin (Climate DT) developed by Finland’s CSC - IT Center for Science, and a wide consortium of climate, supercomputing centres, national meteorological services and academia across Europe, under a contract procured by ECMWF. This nomination highlights the Climate DT as the first global climate simulation at a fine spatial resolution of 5 km performed on the LUMI supercomputer of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU). The results can support climate adaptation strategies at both regional and local scales. The awards will be announced at the Supercomputing Conference (SC Conference Series) in Atlanta on 18 November 2024.
