Weather forecasts with OpenIFS on a home-made supercomputer
PhD student Sam Hatfield discusses how he and colleagues built a table-top supercomputer and used it to produce demonstration weather forecasts with OpenIFS. It's a system that is proving fascinating to the public as well as benefiting Sam's research.

ECMWF holds webinars on June upgrade of its forecasting system
ECMWF upgrades its forecasting system on a regular basis, and one such upgrade is planned for 11 June 2019. Director of Forecasts Florian Pappenberger explained how the changes will improve forecasts in two webinars on 15 and 16 May 2019.
ECMWF holds webinar on use of radiosonde data in NWP
ECMWF held a webinar on the use of radiosonde data in numerical weather prediction on 30 April 2019. The webinar covered measurement techniques, the processing of radiosonde data and uncertainties in the data.
The role of ECMWF and the C3S in historical data rescue
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) activity to coordinate data rescue is an exciting and major step forward in improving the historical datasets that are so vital for assessing and managing the risks from climate change.
