GloFAS Medium-range reforecast (download time series)
The script shows how to retrieve the control reforecasts product from year 1999 to 2018, relative to the date 2019-01-03, for two station coordinates, one on the river network of the Thames and the other one on the Po river.

GloFAS Medium-range reforecast (download time series for an event)
This script shows how to retrieve a point time series reforecast on the river Thames for a single forecast reference time, specifically the 11th of July 2007.
| In July 2007 a series of flooding events hit the UK, in particular in some areas of the upper Thames catchment up to 120 mm of rain fell between 19th and 20th of July. Plot retrieved data:
