چکیده

Cosmic-Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) offers a non-invasive method for estimating soil moisture at the field scale, in our case few tens of hectares. The current study uses Ensemble Adjustment Kalman Filter (EAKF) to assimilate neutron counts observed four locations within 655 km 2 pre-alpine river catchment into Noah-MP land surface model (LSM) improve simulations and optimize parameters. runs with 100 m spatial resolution EU-SoilHydroGrids map along Mualem–van Genuchten water retention functions. Using state estimation (ST) joint state–parameter (STP) technique, states parameters controlling infiltration evaporation rates were optimized, respectively. added value assimilation was evaluated local regional impacts using independent root zone observations. results show that during period both ST STP significantly improved simulated around sensors improvements mean square errors between 60 62% 55–66% STP. could further enhance performance validation locations, mainly by reducing Bias. Nevertheless, due lack convergence calculated shorter evaluation period, phase degraded site away from locations. comparison modeled field-scale patterns dense network CRNS observations showed helped average wetness conditions (reduction Bias –0.038 cm 3 −3 –0.012 ) period. However, only stations limited success enhancing patterns.

Soil moisture initialization for climate prediction: Assimilation of scanning multifrequency microwave radiometer soil moisture data into a land surface model

[1] Climate model prediction skill is currently limited in response to poor land surface soil moisture state initialization. However, initial soil moisture state prediction skill can potentially be enhanced by the assimilation of remotely sensed near-surface soil moisture data in off-line simulation. This study is one of the first to evaluate such potential using actual remote sensing data toge...

Bias correction of satellite soil moisture and assimilation into the NASA Catchment land surface model

Surface soil moisture data from different sources (satellite retrievals, ground measurements, and land model integrations of observed meteorological forcing data) have been shown to contain consistent and useful information in their seasonal cycle and anomaly signals even though they typically exhibit very different mean values and variability. At the global scale, in particular, it is currentl...

A methodology for initializing soil moisture in a global climate model: Assimilation of near-surface soil moisture observations

Because of its long-term persistence, accurate initialization of land surface soil moisture in fully coupled global climate models has the potential to greatly increase the accuracy of climatological and hydrological prediction. To improve the initialization of soil moisture in the NASA Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project (NSIPP), a onedimensional Kalman filter has been developed to assi...
