Assimilation of surface soil moisture into a multilayer soil model: design and evaluation at local scale

1 the surface energy balance is driven by climatic forcing, soil surface temperature and soil surface water potential, and it computes evaporation and soil surface heat flux.. The

Figure 5 shows a quantitative comparison of the differ- ences in soil moisture distributions using the K–S metrics from six remote sensing soil moisture retrievals and a land

Land data assimilation systems (LDAS) are needed to integrate satellite data providing information about land state variables such as the surface soil moisture (SSM) and leaf area

Three different data products from the SMOS mission are assimilated separately into the GEOS-5 land surface model to improve estimates of surface and root-zone soil moisture and

This study presents a prediction framework for river dis- charge based solely on remotely sensed data of soil moisture and rainfall, a simple conceptual model and data

The best assimilation (combining high scores and low modification of the model soil moisture) was found for a state variable that was the mean of soil moistures for the two layers
