Two main model families are used in GloFAS

Numerical Weather Prediction systems that provide the Meteorological Forecasts forcings. They include ECMWF-ENS, ECMWF-HRES and ECMWF-SEAS5
Hydrological models that provide the river discharge simulations. They include HTESSEL and LISFLOOD - channel routing

These pages describe in more details the important elements in the GloFAS forecasting system.
