The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is an independent, intergovernmental organization that functions as both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing and disseminating numerical weather predictions to its member states and the broader community. ECMWF operates the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) on behalf of the European Commission and contributes to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), utilizing satellite-derived data from organizations like EUMETSAT and ESA. They maintain one of the largest meteorological data archives and supercomputer facilities in the world, providing data and training to support weather forecasting and environmental monitoring.
