GloFAS v4.1

A minor release of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), version 4.1, has been launched operationally on Wednesday 28 February 2024. 

GloFAS version 4.1 introduces several minor changes to the system, including:

  • Increased offering of forecast variables made available through the Climate Data Store. See Model Output page for details. The data will also be made available for the reanalysis: 
    • Snow Depth Water Equivalent
    • Soil Wetness Index (root-zone)
    • Runoff Water Equivalent (surface plus subsurface),
      • Note: there is a slight delay for the release of Runoff Water Equivalent variable, it will be made available as soon as possible. 
  • Improved reporting point layer, with additional metadata available for 'dynamic reporting points'. 
  • Improved information on the GloFAS map viewer (updated legends and layer titles). 
  • GloFAS Flood thresholds available for various return periods, see Auxiliary Data pages for GloFAS v4.0 flood threshold files.

For more information about GloFAS releases, please refer to the dedicated wiki pages . Questions and feedback can be addressed to the CEMS GloFAS team via the GloFAS contact form.

 

GFM v3.0.0

A major release of the CEMS Global Flood Monitoring product (GFM) has been launched operationally on January 25th 2024: GFM v3.0.0
