Specific goals of this study: Evaluate assimilation satellite soil moisture retrievals on soil water representation in AWRA-L

* Assess active and passive remotely-sensed soil moisture retrievals constraint on AWRA-L top-layer and shallow root-zone moisture estimates. * Evaluate modelling against in situ measurements & cosmic-ray data

Method summary: Sequential updating of AWRA-L model states (soil water storages) using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) based on perturbed forcing and triple collocation for errors on satellite soil moisture products

  • A system for continental-scale data assimilation has been developed for Australian water resources

assessments

  • Currently ingest satellite soil moisture retrievals into AWRA-L
  • Modular in design can be extended to assimilate wider range of gridded data products (e.g. other SM,

evapotranspiration, vegetation indices, …)

  • Further work will focus on coupling the landscape model (AWRA-L) and river model (AWRA-R) for streamflow DA.
  • EnKF method is applied pixel-wise for the whole of Australia
  • Perturbed rainfall, radiation and air temperature
  • Future work will examine spatially-varying perturbations across the continent
  • Model error will be revisited
  • AWRA-L soil moisture evaluation against ground data
  • AWRA-L open-loop simulation of top- and shallow-root layer SM highly correlated with in situ (OzNet)

measurements

  • Soil moisture assimilation improved AWRA-L top-layer estimation when open-loop simulations were less correlated

with in situ data than satellite SM

  • AWRA-L shallow-root zone (0-30 cm) estimates improved almost always after assimilation; 0-90 cm variable (but

biggest improvements when AWRA-L open-loop estimates were poor).

  • CosmOz data promising new network to extend satellite and model evaluation to variety of landscapes around

Australia

  • Future: SM assimilation impact on wider water balance estimation
  • E.g. evaluation of AWRA-L runoff estimates – preliminary findings showed degradation, which points to

inconsistency between soil water and runoff components in AWRA-L which needs to be explored.

Conclusions & future directions
