Progress ELDAS “Point” Validation(ELDAS Progress Meeting, 10-11 December 2003, Madrid) Cor Jacobs, Herbert Ter Maat, Eddy Moors
Contents • Tasks • Data collection • Preliminary validation DWD results (TERRA, 2 months) • CarboEurope Sites • Scinty Sites • Flevopolder • ELDORADO and SAFFRAN • To be solved
“Point” Validation: Tasks • WP4100: Check validity of ELDAS product • is there a relation between model output and reality? • Extra (agreed during 1st progress meeting): radiation • ELDORADO versus SAFFRAN radiation
CarboEurope Autonomous experiments PLAP Scintillometer Experiments, WU BALTEX Validation sites and data collection progress
Forest sites • On tall towers • Various fluxes, hardly any soil moisture observations need moisture indicators (L, a,…) Flux Sites 1: CarboEurope Sites
Evapotransration: CarboEurope Sites / DWD model Albedo, rs, zo, soil, … ?
Further Actions (1): CarboEurope Sites • Complete data collection • Databases 1 ELDAS year • Comparison: timeseries, trends, quality indicators • Normalized fluxes (and gridbox adjustment?) • Moisture indicators (L,a) • Temperature / humidity • Soil moisture increments
Sensible heat flux • Heterogeneous area, average over 1-5 km Flux Sites 2: Scintillometer Sites (WAU) • Latent heat flux: indirect (from surface energy balance)
Cumulatieve Soil Moisture Increment (mm) Scinty’s Flux Sites: L / Soil Moisture Increment (noon) L L Large Scale Irrigation!
Further Actions (2): Scinty Sites • Re-format data • Explore alternatives to compute lE • Comparison: timeseries, trends, quality indicators • Normalized fluxes (and gridbox adjustment?) • Moisture indicators (L,a) • Temperature / humidity • Irrigation data • Soil moisture increments
Agricultural Area • Soil moisture measurements • Many details in space and/or time, but hardly any additional data Soil Moisture Sites: PLAP (Geus), Flevopolder (ESA)
Further Actions (3): Soil Moisture Sites • Re-format data • Include BALTEX data • Comparison: timeseries, trends, quality indicators • Normalized soil moisture (and gridbox adjustment?) • Effect of soil type • Soil moisture in well-defined layers • Soil moisture increments • Effect of drainage? • Estimate P-E?
A simple correlation diagram between ELDORADO and SAFFRAN for 10 July 2003 6:00 GMT Correlation diagram between radiation models
Validation ELDORADO (Carpentras) longwave shortwave • x axis: model, y-axis: observations
Validation SAFFRAN (Carpentras) longwave shortwave • x axis: model, y-axis: observations
Further Actions (4): Radiation Schemes • Include Hesse (Sarrebourgh CarboEurope site; shortewave only) • Further analyses radiation fields • Think about conclusions
To be solved: defining “reality” • Model surface versus observation space (Gridpoint Adjustment?) • Land cover and characteristics • Soil Type • Irrigation, drainage • Trivial Matters (Define your data!) • Synchronisation • Height/Depth/Layers
