About this user guide

This guide is hosted on GitHub Pages platform and it’s the most up-to-date and complete user instruction of the LISFLOOD model. It contains a detailed step-by-step guide on what you need to do and know through the whole chain from the system requirements to receiving the LISFLOOD output.

In order to apply this knowledge into practice, we provide two fully implemented test cases: LISFLOOD User Cases. By running the test cases, you can verify that the model has been installed and used by you correctly. Then it will be time for you to move onto your own set-up.

Note, this document is not a LISFLOOD model documentation. The lisflood-model official documentation contains the most up-to-date and complete technical documentation of the LISFLOOD model. This includes all the concepts and model equations of all the standard LISFLOOD processes, but also all the optional modules.

OS LISFLOOD users might also be interested in the following complementary open-source repositories:

• LISVAP allows the computation of reference evapotranspiration gridded dataset. The relevant documentation can be found at LISVAP documentation
• OS LISFLOOD calibration tool enables model parameter calibration. The relevant documentation is available at Calibration Tool documentation.
• OS LISFLOOD utilities support the preparation of model inputs, the post-processing and comparison of model outputs. The relevant documentation is provided in the lisflood-utilities repository.
• pyg2p allows re-gridding and interpolation of meteorological files in GRIB format to NetCDF (and pcraster) format. The relevant documentation is provided in the pyg2p repository
