The CEMS-flood sub-seasonal and seasonal products are essentially the same across the two systems and similarly the same across EFAS and GloFAS. Below, the available products and their main features are introduced. The example snapshots below are from EFAS seasonal forecasts, but the styling is the same for the sub-seasonal and for GLoFAS as well, other than the different forecast lead time periods and the domain.

colours

The forecast signal is shown by colouring on the map product layers, either for individual river pixels or larger basins (see the further product details below in the subsequent sections). Each of these river pixels or basins are coloured by the expected anomaly category and the uncertainty sub-category defined for the actual forecast. There are altogether 7 anomaly categories (from 'Extreme low' to 'Extreme high') and 3 uncertainty sub-categories (from 'Low to 'High'), based on the extremity level of the 51 ensemble forecast members in the 100-value climatological distribution and the mean and standard deviation of these 51 rank values. The details of the computation methodology is described in: Placeholder CEMS-flood sub-seasonal and seasonal forecast anomaly and uncertainty computation methodology.

The used colours in the table are the same as in the river network and basin summary maps (see Figure 1), representing the 15 categories with 15 colours (5 anomaly categories combined with the 3 uncertainty sub-categories), explained above in the 'Product colouringcolours' paragraph. The coloured cell will have the exact same colour that the corresponding pixel (that represents the reporting point location in the river network) has on the 'River network' map layer. In addition, the coloured cell's probability value is displayed bold to be more noticeable.
