Assimilating soil moisture scatterometer data using neural networks
Patricia De Rosnay and colleagues discuss a recent study which uses neural network techniques to derive soil moisture from satellite observations. Neural networks are shown to outperform operational methods in some regions.

Forecast upgrade innovates on single precision and ensemble resolution
An upgrade of ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System implemented on 11 May has introduced single precision for high-resolution and ensemble forecasts and increased the vertical ensemble resolution.
HPC workshop to consider path to exascale computing for meteorology
Registration and abstract submission are open for ECMWF’s online workshop on the use of high-performance computing in meteorology from 20 to 24 September.
In focus
Articles presenting ECMWF’s involvement in diverse areas and fact sheets on topics including ocean wave forecasting, Earth system modelling and data assimilation, reanalysis, and ECMWF's use of satellite observations.
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
Do you use ECMWF products and services? Come and share your experiences at our annual user meeting #UEF2021, taking place virtually 1-4 June. https://events.ecmwf.int/e/UEF2021
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.
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.
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.
