Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2019)

Météo-France provides forecast products tailored to end-users from energy, agriculture, transports, insurance and other sectors.

A number of end-users are still quite reluctant in the use of ensemble forecast and prefer to rely on a deterministic answer to manage their activities.
Though, the rise of medium and short range ensemble forecasts allow weather providers to create new diagnostics and some of the economic sectors are beginning to understand the interest of the whole information carried in the ensemble forecast.
The aim of this poster is to show through examples of impact forecast products how these products are tailored to end-users stakes.

Several examples will be presented: ensemble forecasts applied to photovoltaic production, agro-meteorological forecasts over tropical regions, road surface temperature forecasts and  winter risk forecasts for the energy sector.
