Model EFAS - Copernicus

This section describes the data integration process of EFAS model from Copernicus Early Warning Data Store (EWDS).

  • EFAS.py: Python script that retrieves weather data from the EWDS dataset (https://ewds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/efas-forecast?tab=overview) and download data programamatically using airflow sintaxis.

  • Data: processes it into a standardized format using WeatherForecastSeries.py Smart Data Model.

  • Raw Data: The input data are NetCDF (.nc) files containing the following weather variable:

    • River discharge last 6 hours

  • API Key: An API key is required for execution. To get an API key, you need to register on the Copernicus Climate Data Store website: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu

  • Run script: Run this script daily because Copernicus updates the data once a day. It has been configured to automatically detect the latest available forecast.
