LISFLOOD static and parameter maps for Europe

Collection: CEMS-EFAS : European Flood Awareness System 

Description

The LISFLOOD static and parameter maps for Europe contain all gridded input maps (except for the meteorological forcings that can be found here https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/0bd84be4-cec8-4180-97a6-8b3adaac4d26) that are required to run the spatially distributed hydrological model LISFLOOD for Europe. Details on the open-source hydrological model LISFLOOD can be found here: https://ec-jrc.github.io/lisflood/ . The LISFLOOD static maps have been derived using a variety of different data sources and have a spatial resolution of 1 arc min (approx. 1.5km). A detailed description of how the maps have been derived can be found here: https://ec-jrc.github.io/lisflood-code/4_Static-Maps-introduction/. The LISFLOOD parameter maps have been derived using model calibration and a parameter regionalization technique.
