CINECA supports the Italian candidacy for the headquarters of the new ECMWF site

Will Bologna be the new headquarters of the European Weather Center? Pending the imminent verdict, scheduled for the beginning of February, Cineca along with  the  Emilia-Romagna Region, Arpae, Aster, FBM, and with the support of the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea, produced a video that tells the tradition, the expertise and excellence of the territory, in support of the nomination.

Italy has a long tradition in the field of meteorology and today meets all the requirements in order to become the location of the future European weather centre. This is the message of the video "Bologna for ECMWF", produced by Cineca with the Emilia-Romagna Region, Arpae, Aster and FBM to support the candidature of Bologna as the headquarters of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

The video starts with the studies and forecasts performed with ancient instruments, and continues with a reference to the current simulations, focusing in particular on the Emilia-Romagna region, highlighting both its technical and scientific resources as well as the attractiveness of the territory.
