Exciting news! ⚡️ Forecasters in Europe & beyond now have access to LI data, just in time for the summer storm season! By observing abrupt changes in lightning activity, forecasters can better monitor/predict the development & severity of storms. More at: bit.ly/4ckBouP

We are privileged to use the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking network of supercomputers, of which Leonardo is part, allowing us to develop high-resolution runs in #DestinationEarth, an EU initiative we are involved in as developers of the climate and extreme weather digital twins. #G7Italy

🌍🌐 Accurate initial conditions are crucial for the reliability and precision of #DestinE Extremes Digital Twin simulations, and data assimilation plays a key role for this purpose. Learn more with ECMWF's Žiga Zaplotnik in our latest DestinE video ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=pyGJLG…

♻️ Every winter, the polar vortex, a ring of stormy weather, forms high above Antarctica in the stratosphere. This year, the vortex is showing signs of warming & being disturbed 🐧 A disturbed vortex may contribute to stormier conditions in NZ & Australia in late July & August.

Ook onze weerinstrumenten zoals satellieten🛰️ en onze lidars hebben de stofdeeltjes afkomstig van de Canadese bosbranden🔥boven België waargenomen. Lees er hier alles over: meteo.be/nl/info/nieuws… EUMETSAT

Nos instruments météo comme les satellites 🛰️et les lidars ont aussi détecté la présence des particules en provenance des feux de forêt 🔥du Canada en Belgique ! En savoir plus? meteo.be/fr/infos/actua… EUMETSAT

The annual #ozonehole over the #Antarctic is developing again. If you want to keep track, visit our website for all the latest charts and details: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/monitoring-ozo… There you will also find the daily updated 3D rendering of the ozone hole evolution in 2024.

A ještě jednou s detailem na ČR. Hodnotu >450 mm v oblasti Jeseníku bych bral s rezervou, toto se hodně obtížně modeluje. Každopádně je dost možné, že budou srážkové úhrny v některých oblastech ČR zcela extrémní. Model ECMWF HRES na příští dny - kumulované srážky. #počasí #srážky

Satellite data from 1991-2020 shows Indian summer monsoons are intensifying. 🌧️ A new study by teams at EUMETSAT and H SAF highlights how ongoing satellite data is key to observing these trends, benefitting #ClimateChange studies. Read more here: bit.ly/3zgOz1w

Another consequence of #climatechange: the #melting of #glaciers. #Switzerland and #Italy have to move their border in the #Matterhorn region. #climateaction #stateofclimate wmo.int/publication-se… swissinfo.ch/eng/melting-al… (pic: AI gen)

New vacancy: Researcher in Air Quality Modelling. The ACM² group at KMI/IRM is looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher ifo the FWO project (FWO) TEMPUR. More info here: meteo.be/nl/info/nieuws…

🌍🌐 Help us unveil the power of ML in #DestinE. We are looking for organisations with expertise in educational content development to help us create engaging #ML training material. Submit your proposal by 20 November ➡️  destine.ecmwf.int/news/help-us-u…

Today, I was at DMI for a brainstorm meeting on ensemble forecasts for UV-index with my colleague Helge AC SAF.
