Product details

Name Hydrological anomalies maps
Acronym
Description To support the interpretation of the flood forecasts EFAS displays also two key hydrological variables, soil moisture and snow water equivalent, that might trigger or increase the risk of flooding. These maps are simulated using near real-time interpolated meteorological observations to run LISFLOOD and are also used as initial conditions for the flood forecasts. For both hydrological variables, soil moisture and snow water equivalent, their respective anomalies are calculated to compare the simulations with the “normal” situation. Where available, the user can compare these maps also with values derived from satellite observations.
