ECMWF is taking part in this year’s Annual Meeting of the European Meteorological Society (EMS), from 2 to 6 September in Barcelona and online. We will present developments in global Earth system modelling from across the organisation. Oral and poster presentations and sessions convened or co-convened by ECMWF staff cover topics including data assimilation and ensemble forecasting; weather and climate modelling; forecasting, nowcasting and warning systems; and open data.
New this year is our side event for ECMWF forecast users on 3 September. This in-person event complements our annual UEF meeting and consists of two moderated and two drop-in sessions.
Full details of ECMWF involvement at EMS2024 are listed below (all times CEST).
