Data
• Model Input Data
• Atmospheric forcing data and soil and vegetation properties
were taken from ISLSCP-1.
• Initial Conditions
• Spin-up catchment-based LSM for 1987 using ISLSCP
forcing data.
• Surface Soil Moisture Observations
• Surface (2cm) soil moisture data output every 3 days from
the “truth” run.
• Evaluation Data
• Surface, root zone and total profile soil moisture data output
each day plus average evapotranspiration data output each
10 days.
