Case 4.1: Lessons
Learned
•Demonstrated a methodology for generating soil moisture initialisation states.
•Soil moisture
assimilation performs best for regions with
shallower soils; particularly depths less
than 3m.
•Important that all of the dominant physical processes in the LSM are identified and included in the covariance forecasting.
•Structure of the model
effects the retrieval time (ie. layered vs
catchment deficit).
•
