Case 4.1: Lessons Learned
Demonstrated a methodology for generating
soil moisture initialisation states.
Soil moisture assimilation performs best for
regions with shallower soils; particularly
depths less than 3m.
Important that all of the dominant physical
processes in the LSM are identified and
included in the covariance forecasting.
Structure of the model effects the retrieval
time (ie. layered vs catchment deficit).
