ECMWF has a strong presence at this year’s General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU24) from 14 to 19 April. The EGU General Assembly brings together geoscientists from all over the world covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences, to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.
Our presentations cover developments across ECMWF in global Earth system modelling, from data assimilation to reanalysis, km-scale modelling, and our new data-driven forecasting system – the AIFS. We also present progress towards the Global Extremes Digital Twin of the EU Destination Earth initiative, and a prototype system to help assess connections between climate and health. Our partners at EUMETSAT are presenting the European Weather Cloud, a joint cloud computing platform developed by EUMETSAT and ECMWF.
EGU24 runs from 14 to 19 April in Vienna (Austria) as well as online.
