LISFLOOD static and parameter maps for Europe

QR code

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.
