ØGoal:
ØEvaluate the time scales over which an
initial moisture anomaly at a satellite observable depth will persist
ØStrategy:
ØEvaluate LSM sensitivity to a 2cm, 5cm, root
zone, and profile moisture storage; dry and wet initialization
ØEvaluate LSM sensitivity to realistic
degradation of soil moisture information
ØAnticipated Results:
ØAssessment of model sensitivity to depth and
accuracy of a soil moisture initialization
