22 Simplified Variational Approach Cost function 1 b T 1 J ( x) = x x B x x 2 Linear hypothesis b 1 T 1 ( ) ( ) + ( y H ( x) ) R ( y H ( x) ) H ( x + δ x) = H ( x) + Hδx In this technique, the linear observation operator H is evaluated using a finite difference approach, from two perturbed model integrations. Also, the minimum of J(x) is directly obtained from J ( x) = 0 The analyzed state x a is thus given by: x a = x b 2 + K y where K is the gain matrix: K ( H ( x b )) ( 1 T 1 1 ) 1 T B + H R H H = R 15 July October 2005 This formulation of the variational problem could be easily converted to an Extended Kalman Filter (Balsamo, Mahfouf, Bélair, Deblonde, 2006, 2007) DRAFT Page 22 December 5, 2007

26 Issues with Soil Moisture Prediction and Assimilation Prediction Possible to refine soil moisture prediction, but better land surface databases are needed (especially for the soil texture). Progress on soil moisture prediction depends on progress in NWP (precipitation most important forcing) Probabilistic products (e.g., ensemble prediction systems) could be used to provide uncertainty on soil moisture prediction Verification, always verification, DRAFT Page 26 December 5, 2007 Assimilation (and modeling) Physically realistic land surface schemes are required to improve the consistency between surface fluxes and soil moisture This is crucial for the joint assimilation of screen-level observations and of observations more directly related to soil moisture (e.g., remote sensing) Maybe necessary to physically constrain soil moisture analysis increments Ensemble methods provide estimate for model background error statistics, but they are more expensive Need better estimates of the observation errors Atmospheric analyses (especially precipitation) are important Verification, verification
