A new book on the challenges of extended-range prediction
In this blog, Dr Frédéric Vitart discusses a book on recent progress and challenges in extended-range forecasting, which he has co-edited with Andrew Robertson (IRI).
How statistics supports Earth system model diagnostics and calibration
Modelling, computing and statistics come together in Earth system model diagnostics and calibration work. ECMWF scientist Damien Decremer has the required interdisciplinary expertise.
Registration open for key ECMWF events in 2019
Registration is open for several of ECMWF’s 2019 events: our Annual Seminar, the Using ECMWF’s Forecasts meeting (UEF), and workshops dedicated to strengthening links between observational campaigns and NWP and to exploring technologies for developing reproducible workflows.
In focus
Articles presenting ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas, from our graduate training programme and support for national and international initiatives to information on publications such as our User Guide.

Forecast charts and data
We provide current forecasts, climate reanalyses and specific datasets. These are available via the web, point-to-point dissemination, data servers and broadcasting.
Highlighted tweet
Extreme snowfall affected some of southern Britain late last week. In these challenging situations ECMWF products show forecasters the likely delineations of different weather types. This case highlights the impact of warm seas in modulating precipitation type (follow the arrow).
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.
