Blog from April, 2021

This is the next in the series of joint ECMWF / EUMETSAT workshops on the European Weather Cloud.

As in the earlier workshops, we will also share updates and experiences from use cases and ongoing developments.

As we progress towards an operational service, we would appreciate feedback from the community on the future data needs and expectations in operations.

This workshop will be virtual and only open to Member and Co-operating States.

We hope you and your colleagues will find this workshop interesting and useful and we look forward to your participation.
