Presentation Transcript

  1. Global one-meter soil moisture fields for the calibration of GRACE measurements derived from surface observations and satellite passive microwaves C. Simmer, R. Lindau, A. Battaglia, F. Ament, H. Wilker University of Bonn M.Drusch European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast SPP 1257 Workshop – GFZ Potsdam – 28th November 2005

  2. Total variance External variance Internal variance = Variance between + Mean variance the means of the within the subsamples subsamples ANOVA of Soil Moisture measurements SPP 1257 Workshop – GFZ Potsdam – 28th November 2005

  3. Local longtime means 73% of the soil moisture variance is explained by four parameters : SPP 1257 Workshop – GFZ Potsdam – 28th November 2005

  4. Two-step Retrieval Climatological mean derived from: • Longterm precipitation • Soil texture • Vegetation density • Terrain slope + Temporal anomalies from: • Brightness temperatures at 10 GHz • Anomalies of rain and air temperature SPP 1257 Workshop – GFZ Potsdam – 28th November 2005

  5. Application: DEKLIM BALTIMOS within DEKLIM (Deutsches Klimaforschungsprogramm): Validation of a 10-years climate run of the regional model REMO using SMMR. Example: Oder catchment R. Lindau and C. Simmer: Derivation of a root zone soil moisture algorithm and its application to validate model data. Nordic Hydrology, accepted for publ.

  6. Application: AMSR GEOLAND within GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security): Derivation of global soil moisture fields from AMSR M. Leroy, R. Lacaze, R. Lindau, F. Oleson, L. Pessanha, I. Piccard, A. Rosema, J-L. Roujean, F. Rubel, W. Wagner, M.

Longterm mean Temporal anomaly SPP 1257 Workshop – GFZ Potsdam – 28th November 2005

  7. Comparison with ECMWF‘s Global Soil Moisture Analysis • Every 6 hours, ECMWF performs a global soil moisture analysis for its operational weather prediction model (Integrated Forecast System IFS). • The soil moisture analysis is based on the soil moisture values modelled in the IFS and corrected by analysed fields of proxy information (i.e. 2m temperature and relative humidity observations; additional use of satellite passive microwave brightness temperature currently tested by MIUB and ECMWF). • Depth of analysed soil moisture: 1 m. • Spatial resolution: currently 0.5° lat/lon (0.25° scheduled for next year).
