<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. It is an intergovernmental organisation created in 1975 by a group of European nations and is today supported by 34 Member and Co-operating States, mostly in Europe.
 The Centre’s mission is to serve and support its Member and Co-operating States and the wider community by developing and providing world-leading global numerical weather prediction. ECMWF functions as a 24/7 research and operational centre with a focus on
 medium and long-range predictions and holds one of the largest meteorological archives in the world. The success of its activities relies primarily on the talent of its scientists, strong partnerships with its Member and Co-operating States and the international
 community, some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, and the use of innovative technologies such as machine learning across its operations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">Over the years, ECMWF has also developed a strong partnership with the European Union, and for the past seven years has been an entrusted entity for the implementation and operation of the Climate and the Atmosphere Monitoring
 Services of the EU Copernicus Programme, as well as a contributor to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. The collaboration does not stop there and include other areas of work, including High Performance Computing and the development of digital tools.
 It is enabling ECMWF to now provide data and products covering weather, climate, ait quality, fire and flood prediction and monitoring.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="BodyTextafterBulletlist">The Production Services Team develops MARS, FDB, ECFS and ECPDS services, and in addition develops cloud meteorological and climate data provisioning services (Data-as-a-Service) in support of ECMWF's cloud activities. A significant
 focus of the team is the scalability, performance, and robustness of the full operational weather forecasting pipeline to future model upgrades, with the aim of achieving exascale NWP by 2030, when it is expected that data volumes will reach 1PiB per cycle.
 The team actively engages in research of novel, potentially disruptive algorithms and methods to achieve these objectives. It also invests in the analysis and development of new data-access paradigms in support of novel data-centric workflows, which enable
 new insights into ECMWF's massive datasets.<o:p></o:p></p>
