2 1. Agriculture needs, current methods, limitation, request, challenge case study of SMOS datasets over West Africa 2. Climate & Meteorology needs, issues and limitations case study over GAME-Tibet dataset 3. Weather forecast DA needs and limitations Met Office case study of ASCAT/SMOS datasets 4. Epilogue 5. Reference 2

3 soil properties required for accurate flooding/drought monitoring : - van Genuchten from ISLSCPII (Schaap et al., 1998) - Cosby methods from ECOCLIMAP/HWSD (Cosby et al., 1984) - SWI neglecting ET, constant soil properties (Wagner, 1998) (Minasny et al., 2004, Gutmann and Small, 2007) - soil maps-based PTFs are empirical & site-specific - NNs are limited to their soil database inversion from satellite (Gutmann and Small, 2007) 3

4 Satellite Hydrol. model Sampling depth changing fixed Moisture source No ET ET (canopy) External forcing Rainfall errors - layer Only surface subsurface range 0-1 WP, FC, θ sat.. 4

10 A quality of Land surface is important for weather forecast Satellite observation is a backbone of DA system Linear operator for analyzing most of state variables Current satellite bias correction methods: e.g. CDF matching Satellite observation error specification is missing in a current DA system 10

11 Take three collocated independent estimates of the soil moisture variances. In situ & SMOS Level 2 products used for: determination of the background error (Met office short range forecasts of soil moisture)/ascat observation error: State variables Error (m 3 /m 3 ) UM Background level SMOS (v500) ASCAT (version 1)
