Peter Salamon, Vera Thiemig · Joint Research Centre (European Commission) · 2017

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), jointly developed by the European Commission and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), is part of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (Copernicus EMS). GloFAS provides added value, complementary flood forecast information which is updated daily. Forecast information includes gridded hydro-meteorological data such as accumulated forecasted precipitation, probabilistic predicted discharge, threshold exceedances and forecasted hydrographs at gauging locations. GloFAS data is publicly available (registration required).
