The EFAS Reporting Point layer consists of a queryable map, with pop-out windows providing additional information.
Reporting Point map
The figures below explain the Reporting Points map layer.
Pop-out windows
Additional local information associated with the reporting points layers is available from the mapviewer as pop-up plots. They display information such as:
Point geographical information - e.g. country, basin, river and station name.
Forecast summary - e.g. forecast issue date, probability values, persistence values, tendency and time to peak.
Flood hydrographs.
Summary diagrams of catchment meteorological forcings.
Consistency diagrams: show the evolution of the forecast signal over time. They display the forecast threshold exceedance for each return period threshold (1.5-, 2-, 5-, 20-year) for each day of the forecast horizon for the latest eight consecutive forecast runs.
Real-time hydrographs (for certain points only): ECMWF-ENS EFAS forecast post-processed based on observed discharge. They also display the probability of exceeding a mean annual maximum discharge within the next 15 days.
Below are some graphical aids to help to interpret and use reporting points' feature information products (these can be found under the Flood Summary layer group - Reporting Points layer, when clicking on a point on the EFAS-IS mapviewer).
Restrictions
EFAS medium-range flood forecasts produced at least 30 days earlier are freely available to view. Real-time EFAS medium-range flood forecasts are only available under certain conditions. Visit the EFAS data access pages to learn more on data restrictions.
