A
methodology for initialization of seasonal-to-
|
|
|
interannual
predictions that does not rely on
|
|
|
model
spin-up has been developed.
|
|
|
| • |
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.
