Warning, (in Swedish), level 1, SwedenE-HYPE is a model application set up to calculate hydrological variables (e.g.runoff, discharge, snow depth, groundwater level) and nutrient variables (e.g. concentrations and loads) for over 35 000 subbasins (median resolution=215 km2) across all of Europe.
The Pan-European hydrological model (E-HYPE) with high resolution is operational in the SMHI production environment. The model has been initiated and funded by GMES and several EU FP7 projects (e.g. Geoland2, MyOcean, OPERR, SUDPLAN, Ecosupport).
The first version of the operational model (v1.0) was uncalibrated and based on readily available global databases. In the next version, E-HYPE v2.0,
subbasin outlines and links between subbasins were improved, and
new precipitation and temperature data has been introdocud used to drive the model, evapotranspiration data has been used to parameterise the evapotranspiration routine, many more gauging stations measuring basins varying in size from 200 km2 to 800 000 km2 were included in the system for calibration and validation. The next step were calibration and validation of the hydrological model and since 2012, E-HYPE has been setup to simulated nutrient variables as well.
The current model version, E-HYPE v2.1, was made operational to deliver real-time and forecast hydrological and nutrient data from the entire European coastline at the end of 2012.
SMHI welcome all initiatives for further system improvements, such as more detailed input data and cooperation in HYPE-model code development. We invite researchers, practitioners, and water authorities to join this effort to construct a common platform for transboundary hydrological analysis at different scales over Europe.
