Introducing the IFS Assistant, a new AI tool to help users of ECMWF's Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). It is designed to help users find and understand information across the IFS codebase and documentation. Read more about the IFS Assistant ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
Have you explored the 2025 European Air Quality Assessment from #CopernicusAtmosphere? As emissions fell, air quality trends improved, yet PM2.5 & ozone episodes persisted, linked to winter cold spells, summer heatwaves, Saharan dust & severe wildfires on the Iberian Peninsula. @ecmwf.int ⬇️
ECMWF and @cam.ac.uk have collaborated on a new approach to forecasting the intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) called AIFS-TC. This approach starts with the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) forecast and learns how to correct its intensity errors. ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
Northern Hemisphere #wildfires & long-range smoke transport between 1-31 July 2026 + 1 August 5-day forecast. Visualised with #CopernicusAtmosphere Fire Emissions Watch app apps.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/fire-emissio... @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @ecmwf.int
Discover how the Copernicus Energy Hub, implemented by @ecmwf.int, connects Copernicus Services with the energy sector, turning climate and environmental information into real‑world decisions on wind, solar, hydropower and offshore wind. 👉 Read the article: energy.hub.copernicus.eu/copernicus-e...
🔥Track global wildfire emissions in near-real time or look back at events since 2003. As fires burn worldwide, the “Fire Emissions Watch” app from #CopernicusAtmosphere provides fire emissions data & smoke plume forecasts based on Global Fire Assimilation System dataset. ⬇️
The Assessment Report on European Air Quality 2025 from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), which is implemented by ECMWF, shows that air quality across Europe continues to improve. However, the report also highlights that pollution episodes persist. ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
Now available in the Climate Data Store: two multi-model hydrological seasonal datasets for Europe from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Water Service covering historical simulations & meteorological forcings for Europe plus ensemble reforecasts of hydrological simulations. ⬇️
In June and early July, ECMWF held a series of major events bringing together national meteorological and hydrological services, research institutions, universities, European agencies, policymakers, industry partners and users. Read about recent ECMWF events here ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
📣 Do you use ERA5 data from #CopernicusClimate for research, operations, decision making or commercial use? Tell us which datasets & parameters are most important for your work, and how evaluation and quality control information can better support you. 📋 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run... @ecmwf.int

🌍🌐 The European Commission's Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative is pushing the boundaries of Earth-system modelling and AI. This is made possible thanks to strategic access to supercomputers provided through @eurohpc-ju.bsky.social. Read more ➡️ destine.ecmwf.int/news/harness...
At ECMWF, rather than asking users to understand where data is stored or how systems are organised, the MARS language enables them to describe the data they need and the underlying systems handle everything else. Read more about the MARS language ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
🌍🌐 ECMWF is inviting proposals for communication services to help promote our contribution to the EU’s DestinE initiative. The contract will cover a broad range of communication services, with a focus on event management and (social) media monitoring. Find out more ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/sup...
Using AIFS-DOP, ECMWF scientists have produced a prototype global reanalysis using Earth system observations alone. The results point to the potential of observation-driven machine learning to complement future operational reanalysis production. Read more ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
@ecmwf.int invites tenders to develop an evaluation & quality control framework for emission & surface fluxes products under #CopernicusAtmosphere, targeting existing and emerging services for monitoring global emissions & natural fluxes. Deadline: 30 Sep 🔗 atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cams284a-eqc...
