Sensitivity of high-temperature weather to initial soil moisture: a case study using the WRF model
Using a succession of 24 h Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) simulations, we investigate the sensitivity to initial soil moisture of a short-range hightemperature weather event that occurred in late July 2003 in East China. The initial soil moisture (SMOIS) in the Noah land surface scheme is adjusted (relative to the control run, CTL) for four groups of simulations: DRY25 (−25 %), DR...
متن کاملRole of climate forecasts and initial conditions in developing streamflow and soil moisture forecasts in a rainfall–runoff regime
Skillful seasonal streamflow forecasts obtained from climate and land surface conditions could significantly improve water and energy management. Since climate forecasts are updated on a monthly basis, we evaluate the potential in developing operational monthly streamflow forecasts on a continuous basis throughout the year. Further, basins in the rainfall–runoff regime critically depend on the ...
متن کاملJp2.2 Impact of Soil Moisture Initialization on Numerical Weather Forecasting over the Mississippi Delta Region
Soil moisture estimates are considered as a valuable input for various environment models including weather forecasting, water management, agriculture, and forestry applications. Generally, the network of soil moisture observations is not dense (typically only few observation points are available within each state) enough to meet the spatial resolution requirements of these applications. Theref...
متن کاملDownscaling of seasonal soil moisture forecasts using satellite data
A new approach to downscaling soil moisture forecasts from the seasonal ensemble prediction forecasting system of the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) is presented in this study. Soil moisture forecasts from this system are rarely used nowadays, although they could provide valuable information. Weaknesses of the model soil scheme in forecasting soil water content and t...
متن کاملSoil Moisture as an Indicator of Weather Extremes
[1] In this paper, we investigate floods and droughts in the Upper Mississippi basin over a 50-year period (1950–1999) using a hydrological model (Variable Infiltration Capacity Model – 3 Layer). Simulations have been carried out between January 1950 and December 1999 at daily timestep and 1/8 spatial resolution for the water budget and at hourly time-step and 1 spatial resolution for the energ...
