EDgE is producing a range of data outputs to meet the needs of water users across Europe, identified through our Focus Groups.
It is modelling hydrology across Europe at a high spatial resolution of 5km and at two timescales:
- seasonal forecasting from 1 to 6 months ahead
- long-term climate and climate change forecasting to 2100.
A range of climate models and several hydrological models are used to capture uncertainty in the modelling process.
Key hydrological variables are modelled, including the terrestrial Essential Climate Variables (tECVs) of discharge and soil moisture, as well as potential and actual evaporation, groundwater recharge and snow water equivalent.
Based on these modelled variables, EDgE will combine indices of high relevance to user needs into Sectoral Climate Impact Indicators (SCIIs) appropriate for use in areas such as drought, flooding, agriculture, hydropower, etc. These will be defined with EDgE stakeholders to provide the most useful indicators to meet water users’ needs.
