Obtained flow rates are significantly lower than those predicted and showed on the EFAS-IS Website

Dear @StefaniaGrimaldi ,

We are deploying an operational flood awarness system in Catalonia, Spain, which includes Lisflood OS model as one of its simulation engines.

We're observing that the flow rates we're simulating are significantly lower than those predicted and showed on the EFAS-IS Web. Would it be possible to access the layers that represent the initial state at some point from the operatig Lisflood model running in EFAS? This would allow us to verify our implementation or, if necessary, to detect any potential problems.

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,
Carlos

@charlibrown33 My first guess without seeing your LISFLOOD set up and the input data is that the precipitation input is not scaled to values of mm/day! Note that OS LISFLOOD requires mm/day for precip even though your set up has a higher temporal resolution.
If you want us to look in more detail to your set up please share with us the settings.xml file and, possibly at a next step, the input maps you are using.

Dear @salampe ,
Your first guess seems to be pretty accurate. I think it's something we missed for the forcings processing. We'll make this change and see how the model improves. I'll keep you updated.
Thnak you very much.
Regards.
