Using ECMWF's Forecasts (UEF2018)

UEF2018 will focus on two thematic areas:

• Processing of model outputs: this session will be dedicated to model output developments or visualisation with particular focus to innovative ideas that support forecasters when issuing weather warnings. Case studies demonstrating the use of new model output developments are welcomed.

• Impact Forecasting: this session will look at how weather forecasts are used in sectoral applications like water, energy, agriculture, fire and health. Applications aimed at mitigating the impact of severe weather, at forecasting health risks and at minimising adverse impacts of human activities on the environment (for example maximise the use of green energy, minimise the use of pesticides, effective use of medications to prevent allergic reactions) are examples of topics for this session.
