Ongoing research and development

• Development and evaluation of the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System for use in high resolution ensembles and extended range prediction 
• Extension of surface-atmosphere tiling approach over land and water, cryosphere snow/ice, urban/forest canopy tiles for seamless coupling
• Parameterisation and benchmarking of subgrid effects of the surface energy and water redistribution (fluxes and reservoirs)
• Thermal coupling and land-use/water-use change assessment (using satellites skin temperatures and machine learning)
• Hydrological coupling with river catchments and refinement of multi-layer soil/ice/snow schemes 
• Natural and anthropogenic carbon fluxes for environmental monitoring and prediction
