<span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) was created in 1975 by a group of European nations with the purpose of pushing the boundaries of science to improve weather forecasting
for the benefit of its Member and Co-operating States, and the wider community. ECMWF is both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing and disseminating numerical weather predictions to its Member and Co-operating States. ECMWF carries
out scientific and technical research directed to the improvement of its forecasts, collects and processes large amounts of observations, and manages a long-term archive of meteorological data. ECMWF works closely with the national meteorological services
of its Member and Co-operating States, supports the programmes of the World Meteorological Organization, and collaborates with space agencies around the world. ECMWF’s scientific success over the past four decades is based on its collaborative approach.
