What is ECMWF hurricane model?
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF, the Centre) is an intergovernmental organization supported by 34 countries and based near London. The model is run twice a day at 0z and 12z out to 10 days in the future. The ECWMF model runs both in a "deterministic forecast" mode and as an ensemble.
Which hurricane model is the most accurate?
The European model is the one that consistently outperforms the GFS model run by NOAA according to The National Hurricane Center Forecast Verification report. The European Center (ECMWF) model outperformed the official NHC forecast for one and two-day forecasts.
What does ECMWF weather model stand for?

ECMWF is both a research institute and a 24/7 operational service, producing and disseminating numerical weather predictions to its Member States.
Which is better ECMWF or GFS?
So which model is generally speaking more accurate? Statistically speaking, the very clear answer is that the ECMWF consistently performs better than the GFS, as the model skill score graph above shows.
