Ioan Hadade specialises in high-performance computing. His skills are essential to make our numerical weather forecasts run efficiently on our high-performance computing facility in Bologna, Italy.

Progress has been made in applying machine learning tools to adjust the initial conditions and the trajectory of physics-based forecasts.

In the next upgrade of ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), changes in the ocean wind wave model component will be implemented which improve forecasts.

The ECMWF Annual Report 2023 is now available online, reviewing progress towards the goals set out in our ten-year Strategy under the pillars of ‘Science and technology’, ‘Impact’, and ‘Organisation and people’.

The official launch event of the EU’s Destination Earth second phase takes place today at the EuroHPC LUMI Supercomputer Center in Finland. DestinE, which aims to build a digital replica of our planet, is implemented by ECMWF, ESA, and EUMETSAT.

In the next upgrade of ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System (IFS), changes will be implemented which improve short-range forecasts of two-metre temperature.

Three videos developed as part of the EU-funded CoCO2 research project coordinated by ECMWF show a ‘nature run’ of greenhouse gases over the year 2021.

ECMWF’s endeavour to create first-class machine learning weather forecasts relies on the expertise of its staff, including Jesper Dramsch, who joined ECMWF in 2021.

A new satellite called Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE), to be launched later this month, will provide unprecedented data on clouds and aerosols that will help ECMWF to initialise its weather forecasts.

ECMWF held the 5th workshop on ocean waves and wave-coupled processes in Reading (UK) from 10 to 12 April 2024. It was attended by 80 scientists from across the world and followed workshops in Melbourne, Qingdao, Hangzhou and Uppsala.
