Product details

Name	Gridded meteorological maps
Acronym
Description	To calculate the flood forecasts EFAS needs the hydrological initial conditions for LISFLOOD which are derived from forcing LISFLOOD with gridded, near real-time meteorological observations. A large-number of in-situ meteorological data is collected from various data providers and interpolated to a regular grid. The interpolated grids for daily accumulated precipitation and daily average temperature are available in the map viewer and are important for verifying the quality of the initial conditions for the hydrological model. Furthermore, a 24-hour accumulated observed precipitation information based on SYNOP stations is also available.
