How are we going to use satellite-derived water budget quantities to validate hydrological cycles revealed in model reanalysis products, in combination with GAME data sets? Comparison of monthly, vertically integrated water and energy balance components between global 'standard' data sets and CSE data sets (GEWEX WEBS Initiative 1, John Roads)
Water Budget Studies from Reanalysis Data • Reanalysis Data • ECMWF • NCEP Model analysis approach further needs improvement to reduce the uncertainties in our knowledge of the global hydrological cycle (e.g., atmospheric transport from reanalysis data are short of resolving the water balance inferred from stream flow data over the river basins in United States, Roads et al., 2002).
