How
can we evaluate the soil moisture assimilation?
|
|
|
|
• |
Soil
moisture – ideal but limited data available. United states
|
|
|
has
19 stations in Illinois, 6 stations in Iowa and transect of 89
|
|
|
points
in New Mexico for SMMR period.
|
|
|
|
• |
Analysis
increments – only provides check for systematic
|
|
|
biases.
|
|
|
|
• |
Runoff
- data available but assumes that soil moisture is the
|
|
|
only
reason for poor estimates.
|
|
|
|
• |
Evapotranspiration
– data not available and assumes that soil
|
|
moisture
is the only reason for poor estimates.
|
|
|
|
• |
Precipitation
forecasts – assumes soil moisture is the only
|
|
|
reason
for poor forecasts.
