In focus: find out how our global numerical model has evolved from atmosphere only to encompass the Earth system as a whole. This #EarthSystem approach underpins all our forecasts and has opened up the development of a range of environmental services. ecmwf.int/en/about/media-cen…

Exciting news: on the new @Atos supercomputer currently being installed in Bologna in @RegioneER, the next upgrade of the ensemble forecasts will bring them to 9km, same resolution of our high resolution forecast.

We are excited to announce that with the next upgrade of our Integrated Forecasting System, currently planned for late 2022, our ensemble forecast resolution will increase from 18 to 9 km. Look out for more information coming soon. confluence.ecmwf.int/display… #newfcsystem

Today #WorldMetDay2021 focuses on the ocean, our climate and weather. Read more about the importance of #oceanscience in weather prediction and the development of new forecast products, including for extreme marine events: ecmwf.int/en/about/media-cen…

New research article: Year-round impact of winter #SeaIceThickness observations on #SeasonalForecasts. The authors find that the memory of spring sea ice initial conditions lasts into autumn forecasts. tc.copernicus.org/articles/1… @bbs_climate @stietsche @PRosnay

Exciting! Its Molniya orbit is the high-latitude equivalent of a geostationary orbit and allows Arctic observations with high temporal resolution. Does anyone know whether and where data will be openly available?

ECMWF Council today selected Bonn to host the Centre’s new and third site. Blown away by the quality of all nine proposals. Grateful for Member States support. Excited by this new phase in scientific collaboration. #OneECMWF

Exciting new project on Arctic-midlatitude linkages just got funded - congratulations to @polar_james and colleagues!
I’m very pleased to be able to introduce our new ArctiCONNECT project (@arctic_connect) recently funded by @NERCScience, which aims to transform understanding of the effects of rapid Arctic warming on European climate and extreme weather (1/5)

I wonder if people know how fragile the climate modelling infrastructure that supports the CMIP process really is? Love it or hate it, ESGF is supported by grant funding, not operational funding, and that funding is at risk: bnlawrence.net/computing/big…

A record-breaking expedition ends: Never before had an icebreaker ventured so far north during Arctic winter, never before could researchers gather such urgently needed climate data in the region hardest hit by climate change (tr) #welcomePolarstern ➡️ awi.de/en/about-us/service/p…

Going live on 7 October: ECMWF is taking a major step towards making hundreds of its forecast maps free and available to all x.com/Parlimag/status/131051…

Early October will see @ECMWF & @CopernicusECMWF take a major step towards making hundreds of its forecast maps free and available to all. To find out more, visit: bit.ly/30fGeXk

A year ago, #RVPolarstern left Tromsø to start not only her largest expedition ever - but the most exciting one for many of us: @MOSAiCArctic! Today, exactly one year later, she left her second home floe over the course of the year to sail finally back to Bremerhaven @AWI_Media

Back to the office @ecmwf in 3 steps. Will it last? It has been a long 6 months #WFH
