At the same time, ECMWF also sends some useful medium-range numerical forecast products to countries around the world through the global communication network of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The model it uses makes full use of the four-dimensional assimilation data, and can provide the wind, temperature and humidity forecast with 60 layers and 40 km grid density of * * 209 1 1680 points within the global height of 65 km.
