Who are we and what do we do? Medium-Range Up to fifteen days ahead.
Also monthly and seasonal forecasts. We collect and store meteorological data.
Weather Forecasts We produce world-wide weather forecasts
What do we have to achieve this?People About 270 staff,
specialists and contractorsEquipment State-of-the-art
supercomputers and data handling systems
Budget £50 million per yearExperience 40 years

Why “medium-range”?
![Page 9: Introducing ECMWF Anna Ghelli anna.ghelli@ecmwf.int.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649cb15503460f949762ec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The operational forecasting system
High resolution deterministic forecast: twice per day16 km 137-level, to 10 days ahead
Ensemble forecast: twice daily51 members, 30/60 km 91-level, to 15 days ahead
Monthly forecast: twice a week (Mon/Thursdays)51 members, 30/60 km 91 levels, to 1 month ahead
Seasonal forecast: once a month (coupled to ocean model)51 members, 80 km, 91 levels, to 7 months ahead
