  1. The European Flood Awareness Systemcurrent & future data requirements • Peter Salamon • European Commission • WMO RA VI, Forum Hydrology, 8-9 May, Koblenz, Germany

  2. Aim and objectives of EFAS Added value for National Hydrological Services • Catchment based information • Longer leadtimes up to 10 days • Probabilistic information • Operationally targeted research • Novel products for European Civil Protection (MIC) • -Comparable information across Europe • Tool for aid assistance during crisis

  3. European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) DATA EFAS user interface LISFLOOD model Real-time data (EU-FLOOD-GIS/ETN-R) Historical Data Static Data Alert email Europ. Data Layers EFAS partner network Meteo -Data Expert Knowledge of Member States 22 September 2014 3

  4. Pan-European Model set-up as EU policy support • EU Climate Change strategy (impact of CC on floods and droughts, efficiency of adaptation measures) • Water Framework Directive, Floods Directive (e.g. Blueprint)

  5. Current hydrological and meteorological data collection Stations reporting near real time discharge and water levels Approx. 6000 stations reporting meteorological near real time data

  6. Current hydrological and meteorological data • Meteo obs: • Who: JRC • Main data providers: • JRC MARS (in House DB with daily obs) • SYNOP (received through German weather service DWD) • 8 national hydro-meteorological services • European Climate Assessment & Dataset (only historic data) • Near real-time discharge obs: • Who: Consortium REDIAM (Andalusian Environmental Agency) & ELIMCO Sistemas (Spanish private company) • Data providers: • 25 different regional & national hydrological services

  7. Major problems encountered when collecting hydrological data: • Station meta data incomplete (e.g., poorly defined horizontal/vertical datum, timestamp not correct defined) • General difficulty to contact providers • 22 “types” of discharge (timesteps, units, accumulation interval) – makes quality checking and aggregation extremely difficult • Each provider has different way to transmit data – requires a provider specified data parser (prone to errors!)
