A
two-tiered approach.
|
|
|
– |
Tier 1: Spin-up the land surface model off-line from the GCM using
the best
|
|
|
atmospheric forcing data available. Minimizes forcing bias!
|
|
|
– |
Tier 2: Assimilate passive microwave remote sensing observations of
near-surface
|
|
soil moisture from SMMR and SSM/I. Minimizes model and forcing
bias!
