Atmosphere-Land Coupled Data Assimilation by Using Satellite Microwave Radiometers
INTRODUCTION Soil moisture, snow and precipitation are key parameters in numerous environmental studies, including hydrology, meteorology, and agriculture. They play important roles in the interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere, as well as the partitioning of precipitation into runoff and ground water storage and absorbed solar energy into sensible and latent heat flues at the...
متن کاملTreatment of Surface Emissivity for Satellite Microwave Data Assimilation
Observations from satellite microwave instruments have a large information content and are known to improve the quality of global analyses of the atmosphere. However, the use of these observations remains far from being optimal. Indeed, only microwave observations, for which the surface contribute the least, are currently assimilated. This restriction is mainly due to remaining uncertainties ab...
متن کاملTRMM satellite rainfall data
Spatial rainfall is a key input to Distributed Hydrological Models, which is the most important limitation for the accuracy of hydrological models. Model performance and uncertainty could increase when rain gauge is sparse. Satellite-based precipitation products would be an alternative to ground-based rainfall estimates in present and 5 the foreseeable future, however, it is necessary to evalua...
متن کاملCharacterizing the response of a catchment to an extreme rainfall event using hydrometric and isotopic data
[1] In this study we investigate an event-scale transit time distribution (TTD) for a catchment located in the Santa Catalina Mountains northeast of downtown Tucson, Arizona, USA, during a series of extreme rainfall events. Traditionally, TTD studies look at the long time response of a catchment to an input variation in tracer concentration. Few studies have determined the TTD at the scale of a...
