Satellite and In Situ Observations for Advancing Global Earth Surface Modelling: A Review

Abstract: In this paper, we review the use of satellite-based remote sensing in combination with in situ data to inform Earth surface modelling. This involves verification and optimization methods that can handle both random and systematic errors and result in effective model improvement for both surface monitoring and prediction applications. The reasons for diverse remote sensing data and products include (i) their complementary areal and temporal coverage, (ii) their diverse and covariant information content, and (ii… Show more

“…The time series standard deviation of the O-F residuals is a measure of the typical misfit between the model forecast Tb and the (rescaled) SMAP observations. Similarly, the time series standard deviation of the increments is a measure of the typical adjustment of the model forecast soil moisture at any given (Balsamo et al, 2018, their Figure 8a; Figure 6), whereas at other sites (e.g., Little Washita, Oklahoma), the model changes had less impact on the skill of the soil moisture estimates (Reichle, Liu, et al, 2018, their Figure 5). For reference, supporting information Tables S2-S5 provide a complete listing of the performance metrics at all sites.…”

“…The use of SRS data in water resources monitoring is promising, and it has led to an increasing number of studies on a variety of topics in hydrology, including precipitation, evaporation, and soil moisture estimation (Cazenave et al, 2016;Chen & Wang, 2018;Cui et al, 2019;National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2019;Schultz & Engman, 2012). SRS data complement in situ hydrometeorological data (Balsamo et al, 2018), which are typically scarce and whose unavailability hinders the understanding of environmental systems (Tang et al, 2009). This aspect is particularly relevant for developing countries where research for development initiatives have been increasing in the recent years (Montanari et al, 2015).…”

“…Biases are a common issue of snowpack remote sensing (Veyssière et al, 2019;Balsamo et al, 2018) and require a proper estimation or correction before assimilation. Many methods exist in the NWP community to correct for the bias or dynamically estimate it in a data assimilation system (Draper et al, 2015;Auligné et al, 2007).…”

“…(3) extensive, representative, and continuous in-situ observations of snowpack variables to constrain satellite reflectance biases (4) additional data from other satellite sources (Balsamo et al, 2018). All of those suffer from limitations owing to the specificities of snowpack modelling and monitoring in a complex terrain, respectively : (1) snowpack reflectance modelling probably suffers from some biases (Tuzet et al, 2017) (2) absence of any operational network measuring in-situ snowpack reflectance (3) sparse in-situ snowpack measurements in general (4) lack of reliable reflectance retrieval from other satellite sources (as shown here for S2).…”
