	abstract = {The European Flood Alert System (EFAS) is now producing probabilistic hydrological
		forecasts in pre-operational mode for over 2 years at the European Commission Joint
		Research Centre (JRC). EFAS is aiming at increasing preparedness for floods in transnational
		European river basins by providing medium-range deterministic and probabilistic
		flood forecasting information between 3 to10 days in advance.
		It is providing EFAS information reports regarding forecasted riverine flood events to the
		collaborating national hydro-meteorological services. Memoranda of Understanding (MoU)
		for receiving these forecasts have been established for ca. 80% of the area of all
		European trans-national river basins.
		In this work 2 years of existing operational hydrological forecasts are being assessed
		statistically and skill of EFAS is analysed in several ways. The goal is to show where the
		strengths of such a large scale system lie but also where the limits of predictability and
		limits of skill scores in this context are.
