LISFLOOD static and parameter maps for GloFAS

QR code

The LISFLOOD static and parameter maps for GloFAS contain all gridded input maps (except for the meteorological forcings) that are required to run the spatially distributed hydrological model LISFLOOD at the global scale. Details on the open-source hydrological model LISFLOOD can be found here: https://ec-jrc.github.io/lisflood/ .

The LISFLOOD static maps for GloFAS have been derived using a variety of different data sources and have a spatial resolution of 3 arcmin (approx. 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.
