== EUPORIAS WP23: Impact Models for impact predictions ==


* '''AQUATOOL''': It is a Water Management Tool with different modules (SIMGES, OPTIGES, SIMRISK). [http://www.upv.es/aquatool/index_E.html Model URL: http://www.upv.es/aquatool/index_E.html]
* '''MORDOR''': It is a hydrological model for catchments in France.
* '''E-HYPE''': This model simulates water flow and substances on their way from precipitation through soil, river and lakes to the river outlet. The catchment is divided into sub-basins, which in turn are divided into classes depending on land use, soil type and elevation. This Pan-European hydrological model with high resolution is operational in the SMHI production environment. It is operational to deliver real-time and forecast hydrological and nutrient data from the entire European coastline.

* '''VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity model)''': It is a hydrological impact model. [http://www.hydro.washington.edu/Lettenmaier/Models/VIC/index.shtml Model URL: http://www.hydro.washington.edu/Lettenmaier/Models/VIC/index.shtml]
* '''CGMS (Crop Growth Modelling System)''': Is is a detailed crop model with representation of specific crop varieties. [http://www.marsop.info/marsopdoc/cgms92/5_en.htm Model URL: http://www.marsop.info/marsopdoc/cgms92/5_en.htm]
* '''LPJml''': This model will be used for hydrological impacts and agricultural impacts. [http://www.pik-potsdam.de/research/projects/lpjweb Model URL: http://www.pik-potsdam.de/research/projects/lpjweb]
* '''JULES''': The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator. It is a community land surface model that has evolved from the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme (MOSES).
* '''GUESS''': Impact model used by University of Lund.
* '''GLAM''': This model is used by University of Leeds.

All these Impact Models require different variables with different temporal frequencies as input data:
