Description

This deliverable summarizes the current state of the existing European hydrological and riverine transport modelling efforts by Swedish Meteorological and
Hydrological Institute (SMHI) and the European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC). This working group in FOCCUS aims to improve the existing models and to advance high quality freshwater inputs to better support coastal modelling efforts. The 2024 preliminary models outputs are issued as deliverable D4.1.
