There is the potential for large soil moisture
variations among the corrected products. |
|
Large soil moisture variations occur outside of
the regions where assimilation of satellite based soil moisture
observations will be possible. |
|
The
current range of observational products will not allow for correction of
these variations at the global scale. |
|
|
|
|
Current research is directed towards
understanding the extent and times scales of persistence of these soil
moisture differences due to variations between the forcing datasets. |
|
Work is also directed towards techniques to
minimize the magnitude of the differences observed. |
