Land Surface Model Data Assimilation for Atmospheric Prediction
Accurate latent and sensible heat flux prediction in response to land surface soil moisture at midlatitudes has been shown to be as important as sea surface temperature in making accurate precipitation prediction at mid-latitudes over land (Koster et al., 2000). Unfortunately, land surface models typically give a poor prediction of soil moisture and atmospheric feedback, with large differences ...
متن کاملUsing GADI index to determine the drought and the dry areas in Kerman province
Aridity as a spatial concept and drought as a temporal concept have always been studied in different aspects as two distinct categories. However, both concepts indicate anomalies from normal condition. Several indices have been introduced to examine each of these concepts using one or more hydrological cycle’s components. Meanwhile, soil moisture and changes in its spatial and temporal va...
متن کاملRoot Zone Soil Moisture Retrieval Using Streamflow and Surface Moisture Data Assimilation in Nested Catchments
Correct knowledge of soil moisture is important for improving the prediction of coupled land surface atmosphere interactions. This is due to the control that soil moisture exerts on the latent and sensible heat flux transfer between the land surface and atmosphere. Because of this strong dependence on moisture availability, improved atmospheric prediction requires correct initialisation of soil...
متن کاملAccounting for Pliem-Xiu and NOAH Module to Simulate Dust: A Case of Western Areas of Ahwaz
Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION In the arid and semi-arid areas of Asia, dust storms occur frequently. Much progress has been made in the monitoring modeling and prediction of Asian dust storms. Dust emission is caused by wind erosion in the sensitive areas. Wind erosion is described as the transportation of soil particles by means of the wind. Soil Surface moisture is one of the most i...
متن کاملImproving land surface soil moisture and energy flux simulations over the Tibetan plateau by the assimilation of the microwave remote sensing data and the GCM output into a land surface model
The land surface soil moisture is a crucial variable in weather and climate models. This study presents a land data assimilation system (LDAS) that aims to improve the simulation of the land surface soil moisture and energy fluxes bymerging themicrowave remote sensing data and the general circulationmodel (GCM)output into a land surfacemodel (LSM). This systemwas applied over the TibetanPlateau...
