We pursue scientific and technical collaboration with satellite agencies and with the European Commission.
Current floods in central Europe
thumb_18720.jpg 13 June 2013 Several days of heavy rain at the end of May and beginning of June led to saturated soils and extreme flooding in Central Europe. Early medium range flood warning systems supplemented with meteorological forecasting information such as the Extreme Forecast Index are one of the most important tools to reduce the impacts of floods.
