ECMWF releases a much larger open dataset

ECMWF now provides a much larger open dataset to the public, representing weather forecasts at a higher resolution and a reduction in some release times, after a first set of data was made available in early 2022.

Capturing uncertainty in forecasts based on AI

Weather forecasting is experiencing a fundamental shift by adding artificial-intelligence-based models to traditional physics-based models. Mariana Clare is one of the scientists helping ECMWF to make the most of what AI has to offer.
