Making use of this paradigm, the most well-known of which is searching forĮxtra-terrestrial life with (Sullivan III et al., 1997). There is an extremely wide variety of different projects Examples of thisĬlass of citizen science project are known as volunteer or crowd computingĪpplications. Time on their computer to execute project applications. Thisįinal class of citizen science includes those projects where citizens donate Galaxy classification (Simpson et al., 2014) and finally data processing. Projects on offer range from data collection or generation, for example takingĭirect observations at a particular location, such as in the British Trustįor Ornithology's “Garden BirdWatch” (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), 2021) through dataĪnalysis, such as image classification in projects such as Zooniverse's Scientific research, otherwise known as citizen science. Today there are many ways in which the public can directly participate in The reliability and accuracy of the forecasts andĭiscuss the use of large ensembles in the context of forecasting extreme Resolution as We present ensemble statistics that illustrate Model in 2016 run on the ECMWF supercomputer with the same horizontal Smaller ensemble of the size of operational forecasts using ECMWF's forecast For the validation we use a 2000-memberĮnsemble of OpenIFS run on the volunteer framework and a

In order to validate this first use of OpenIFS in a volunteer computingįramework, we present results from ensembles of forecast simulations of Infrastructure of such distributed computing experiments is based on ourĮxperience and expertise with the climate (, last access: 1 June 2021) systems. Simulations can be combined into large forecast ensembles. Run on their computers at home, and the results of these OpenIFS with a citizen science approach to involve the general public in In this paper, we describe a new project that combines Other research institutes on their own computing systems.

Outside the operational environment, ECMWF provides a portable version of The use of a weather forecast model for research and training purposes Such operationalįorecasts are very demanding in terms of computing resources. State-of-the-art high-performance computing systems. Spatio-temporal scales by running these models at high resolution on Organizations, such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weatherįorecasts (ECMWF), provide routine operational forecasts on a range of Meteorological and hydrological services and intergovernmental The atmosphere and other components of the Earth system. Weather forecasts rely heavily on general circulation models of
