COSMO-LEPS is the Limited Area Ensemble Prediction System developed within COSMO consortium in order to improve the short-to-medium range forecast of extreme and localised weather events. COSMO- LEPS started to run on an experimental-operational basis on November 2002 and, in November 2005, it became an ECMWF member-state time-critical application, managed by ARPA-SIM. COSMO-LEPS runs on a daily basis using a10 km grid spacing and 40 vertical layers, starting at 12UTC and with a forecast range of 132 hours.

LISFLOOD is a grid-based catchment model that has been developed to simulate floods in large European river basins. Because the model is spatially distributed, changes in e.g. land use can be easily included in a LISFLOOD simulation. The typical size of one grid cell is 1 by 1 km, although the model can be run at both much finer and coarser resolutions if needed. LISFLOOD plays a central role within the activities of the NAHA Action, and it is currently being used and tested for flood forecasting (EFAS), scenario modelling, and drought forecasting
