The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is an independent intergovernmental organization that provides weather forecasts and climate data for its member countries. Established in 1975, it specializes in medium-range weather forecasting, which typically covers a period of 3 to 15 days ahead. The ECMWF uses advanced computer models and observational data to produce accurate forecasts. In addition to weather forecasting, the ECMWF conducts research in meteorology and climate science. It also offers training and support to meteorological services across Europe, helping them improve their forecasting capabilities. The center plays a crucial role in enhancing global weather prediction efforts.
