Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2019)

The use of EPS products has a long history at the Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ).
New products have been developed for forecasters even in recent months. Yet, the probability approach has not been introduced in the online and offline media forecasts in Hungary, hence these outputs only rarely reach the public in a direct way. Although there would be a demand for ensemble forecasts by many of our customers.
To change this approach, weather videos are produced daily on our website and on our facebook page since the autumn of 2018. Here we present EPS products as well, even if only on a basic level. Firstly, only animations of products were shown, since March 2019 these videos include the presentation of a meteorologist, resembling the usual TV weather broadcasts. With this opportunity, we can introduce new, innovative products and visualisation modes.
