| • | A
surface measurement of soil moisture may be used to correct the entire soil |

| moisture
profile. |

| • | Assimilation
of soil moisture has a positive impact on the water and energy |
||||||||
| budgets. |
|||||||||
| • | Soil
moisture assimilation performs best for regions with shallower soils; |
||||||||
| particularly
depths less than 3m. |
|||||||||
| • | Reduction
