Science blog
Read our blog for a scientist’s perspective on different areas of ECMWF’s work. Recent posts cover the use of satellite data in weather forecasting and our involvement in European projects to develop global storm-resolving Earth system models and to help prepare the weather and climate community for large-scale machine learning applications.

Even more #OpenData now available!
Data released today are based on a range of our high-resolution and ensemble forecasts, and can be accessed through our https service and via the @Microsoft @Azure cloud.
More details from ECMWF makes wide range of data openly available
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.
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.
Workshops and education
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.
