Datasets

This dataset provides gridded modelled hydrological time series forced with medium-range meteorological forecasts. The data is a consistent representation of the most important hydrological variables across the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) domain. The temporal resolution is sub-daily high-resolution and ensemble forecasts of:

River discharge
Soil moisture for three soil layers
Snow water equivalent

A pre-operational Data Targeting System (DTS) was developed to assess the feasibility of operational adaptive control of the observing system and as a facility to aid research projects using data targeting. The DTS was developed and hosted at ECMWF. The work was jointly funded by EUCOS and the EC as part of the PREVIEW Integrated Project (work package WP3320) of the EU 6th Framework Programme.
