European Weather Cloud: a federation

Following decision by their respective Councils in December 2018, ECMWF and EUMETSAT have joined forces to set up a federated Cloud Computing infrastructure focused on meteorological data. The vision is to establish a “European Weather Cloud” to serve the European Meteorological Infrastructure and its users and customers. Services provided will range from delivery of weather forecast data to the provision of computing and storage resources, support and expert advice.

A pilot phase of two years started in 2019, aiming at allowing to test in real conditions how such a platform can be best operated, how governance, security and legal aspects can be organised.

Access to the cloud

During the pilot phase, only a representative group of use cases are selected to participate. The service will be opened up once the pilot phase is over. If you are working on on of the selected use cases, please liaise with the person responsible for it.

The portal: Morpheus

Each member of the federation offers a portal to access the federated cloud services through a dedicated portal.
