The map viewer is an intuitive interface where a number of different products, also called ‘layers’, can be displayed on their own or overlaid on top of each other. The layers are organised in seven categories, and each associated with a short description:
- Initial conditions: shows information on the initial conditions of core variables preceding the forecast start time (3 days before the forecast)
- Meteorological : summarising precipitation forecasts over the first 10-day period of the forecast horizon in GloFAS 30-day
- Hydrological : summarising the latest GloFAS 30-day and GloFAS Seasonal forecasts
- Flood risk : summarising the estimated flood extent and flood impact of GloFAS 30-day forecasts
- Static : showing background information such as inundation plains, or lakes and reservoirs
- Evaluation: contains layers on hydrological model performance and forecast skill (currently, only forecast skill is available)
- External WMS : where users can import new layers produced externally and available through the WMS standard
