European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts

🌍🌐 As the Earth-system models underpinning Destination Earth’s Digital Twins run at increasingly high spatial resolutions, reaching km-scales, they capture more explicitly small-scale processes. Accurately representing these details is a crucial focus for #DestinE scientists, to help improve climate projections and understand extreme events. 📽️ In our latest video, ECMWF's Birgit Sützl provides an in-depth introduction to the representation of small-scale processes in Earth-system models and explains the extensive efforts involved in refining these models. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dBQmHsZy 📹 For more DestinE videos, visit our multimedia page ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eg3iQhaH

🌍🌐 Register now for the third Destination Earth User eXchange meeting.   Discover Destination Earth and connect with the community. The User eXchange events bring together current and potential #DestinE partners to discuss the past, present and future of the initiative.    📅 Date: 15-16 October 2024  📍 Location: Darmstadtium Congress Centre, Darmstadt (Germany) / online  Registration is now open ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ed_-fZ3p The event is hosted by EUMETSAT and co-organised by ECMWF and European Space Agency - ESA.

🔔 ECMWF is excited to be running a side event at EMS 2024 in Barcelona, to complement its annual Using ECMWF’s Forecasts (UEF) event! This in-person side event is taking place on 📅 Tuesday 3 September 2024, and will consist of four sessions. Each session will have a focal topic for discussion, two sessions will have a moderated attendance (registration is required) and two others will be drop-in sessions open to all: 🔸 Hopes, dreams and fears of using Machine Learning for operational forecasting 🔸 ECMWF Forecasts – the good and the bad 🔸 Talk data to us! - ECMWF Data Access Drop-in 🔸 Interested in ECMWF HPC and Cloud services? Please bring all your feedback and questions with you, we're looking forward to meeting you and having lively discussing on the four topics with a wide range of ECMWF forecast users! More information as well as the registration forms can be found on our event webpage: https://lnkd.in/e3CVvgRq ---- UEF2024 was initially held online as a two-day event on 5 and 6 June 2024, many ECMWF updates were presented including on IFS model cycles, forecast products, machine learning and Copernicus. All presentations and recordings can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ey3YVXzM European Meteorological Society's Annual Meeting 2024 is taking place in Barcelona from 2 - 6 September. More information and the entire programme can be found here: https://ems2024.eu/

🌍🌐 Satellite observations are essential for providing a detailed, up-to-date picture of the global atmospheric state, and play a key role in creating initial conditions for weather predictions. DestinE scientists are working on maximising their potential for improving the km-scale simulations performed for the #DestinE Weather-Induced Extremes Digital Twin. Discover more about these exciting advancements with ECMWF's Josef Schröttle, who gives a broad overview in this week's DestinE video ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_6PYwSa 📹 For more DestinE videos, visit our multimedia page ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eg3iQhaH

Ioan Hadade specialises in #HighPerformanceComputing. Find out what he does to make our numerical weather forecasts run efficiently on our high-performance computing facility in Bologna, Italy ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gpAAMFQH

🌍🌐 Accurate initial conditions are crucial for the reliability and precision of #DestinE Extremes Digital Twin simulations. They ensure the simulations start from a realistic representation of the current state of the environment. In our latest DestinE video, ECMWF's Ziga Zaplotnik introduces the work performed around data assimilation, one of the key elements to create accurate initial conditions in DestinE.

A great opportunity was offered to ECMWF to address delegations in the context of the G7/EU High Level Conference at the G7 Science & Technology gathering in Bologna, Italy. DG Florence Rabier made the case that global collaboration is the only way to address critical challenges in the fields of extreme weather and climate change. To start with, the reason why a body like ECMWF exists is because the weather does not abide by any political or other human-made boundaries. To understand the weather today in Bologna, you need to know what the weather was like three days ago over the Atlantic. But the global dimension extends to every aspect of our work. Technological advances would not be possible or even affordable if the brains and wallets of the many did not join forces. At ECMWF, we have the privilege of not just having our own supercomputer, financed by our Member States; through our partnership with the European Union in the groundbreaking initiative Destination Earth, we also have access to the EuroHPC network, which is making our work on high-resolution digital twins of Earth possible. Our work with the European Union did not start there though. It includes collaboration on Horizon projects as well as the delivery of two services of the Copernicus Programme. The strength of those EU-funded initiatives is that they allow us to work with European nations as a block, and to fulfil all requirements through bi- or multi-lateral agreements with other nations, organisations or private companies. The power of collaboration does not end there. Global also covers the human aspect of our work. Talent and expertise are present in all the countries of the G7, and beyond. So, whilst we do take pride in the talent of our own staff coming from all our Member States, we also acknowledge that our success lies in our ability and flexibility to work collaboratively with countries around the world. And this is what makes ECMWF. Collaboration is also about sharing with those who have fewer capabilities to develop weather forecasting, which, as we all know, requires substantial investment. Our forecasting data are shared with all the members of the World Meteorological Organization, another great example of global collaboration. We train forecasters from developing countries in our headquarters in Reading, in the UK, so they can go back to their countries and in turn become the trainers of more forecasters. This is another piece of work that we do with and on behalf of our Member States, which we are extremely proud of. Global collaboration is and always has been the key to any advances we have been making over the years. We think as a community, we act as a community. Because we are a community.
