ECMWF Incorporates EarthCARE Satellite Data for Enhanced Global Weather Forecasting

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has become the first operational center to integrate cloud radar data from the ESA-JAXA EarthCARE satellite into its global forecasting models. This pioneering move offers an unparalleled perspective on cloud and precipitation structures. The integration is anticipated to substantially improve the accuracy of weather predictions, especially for severe weather phenomena.
