In this episode of The WeatherPod we’ve invited Florence Rabier into the studio. This is a special extended episode of The WeatherPod devoted exclusively to ECMWF and the recent publication of its 10-year strategy 2021 to 2030

As many listeners will know, ECMWF is an independent intergovernmental organisation supported by 34 countries, working closely with their national meteorological services.

Over its 45 years history, it has established itself as the world leader in skilful global numerical weather predictions. It now employs around 360 staff from more than 30 countries.

Florence Rabier has been Director-General of ECMWF since January 2016, following two years leading the Centre’s Forecast Department. An internationally recognised expert in Numerical Weather Prediction, her career so far has taken her back and forth between the French national weather service, Météo-France, and ECMWF.
