- hydrograph showing the probabilistic forecast for the next 30 days based on ECMWF-ENS
- calendar matrices showing the evolution of forecasts in relation to the exceedance of critical hydrological thresholds.

The update frequency of this data set is daily; and the spatial coverage is global; while the horizontal resolution is 0.1 degree.

This information is produced by the operational suit of GloFAS (www.globalfloods.eu) in order to provide the user with in-depth information at relevant key locations. This information also provides a good indication on the reliability of the hydrological forecast.
