Integrating ASCAT surface soil moisture and GEOV1 leaf area index into the SURFEX modelling platform: a land data assimilation application over France

The study shows that it is possible to estimate the heat flux balance at the sea surface over a large area, using NOAA satellite data and information about

To improve the capability of land-surface process models to simulate soil moisture in semi- arid regions, we adopted the PSO algorithm and data from the SACOL station in the
