operational forecasts involves a complex hierarchy of bespoke, inter-dependent software applications developed in-house. These perform functions such as the acquisition, pre-processing, monitoring and quality control of meteorological observations, the production
of meteorological analyses and forecasts at multiple forecast lead times, forecast post-processing and the generation of user products, dissemination of data to forecast users and customers across the globe, provision of web-based forecast products, verification
of forecasts and products, storage and retrieval of meteorological observations and fields in our archive (both as part of the forecast process and by individual users), and the orchestration of complex scientific workflows (for both time-critical production
and large-scale scientific research). During the migration, it is essential that this software stack is ported to the new computing platforms in the new data centre efficiently and correctly, to ensure operational production can switch to the new data centre
according to the tight schedule.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
