Hylke E. Beck,Ming Pan,Diego G. Miralles,Rolf H. Reichle,Wouter Dorigo,Sebastian Hahn,Justin Sheffield,Justin Sheffield,L. Karthikeyan,Gianpaolo Balsamo,R.M. Parinussa,Albert van Dijk,Jinyang Du,John S. Kimball,Noemi Vergopolan,Eric F. Wood +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the temporal dynamics of 18 state-of-the-art near-surface soil moisture products, including six based on satellite retrievals, 6 based on models without satellite data assimilation (referred to hereafter as open-loop models), and 6 models that assimilate satellite soil moisture or brightness temperature data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The new VarEPS-monthly forecasting system: A first step towards seamless prediction
Frederic Vitart,Roberto Buizza,Magdalena Balmaseda,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Jean-Raymond Bidlot,Axel Bonet,Manuel Fuentes,Alfred Hofstadler,Franco Molteni,Tim Palmer +9 more
TL;DR: A combined medium-range and monthly forecasting system is now operational at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts as mentioned in this paper, which provides skillful predictions of small-scale, severe-weather events in the early forecast range.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMMA Land Surface Model Intercomparison experiment coupled to the Community Microwave Emission Model: ALMIP-MEM
P. de Rosnay,Matthias Drusch,Aaron Boone,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Bertrand Decharme,Phil Harris,Yann Kerr,Thierry Pellarin,Jan Polcher,Jean-Pierre Wigneron +9 more
TL;DR: The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) Land Surface Models Intercomparison Project for Microwave Emission Models (ALMIP-MEM) as mentioned in this paper comprises an ensemble of simulations of C-band brightness temperatures over West Africa for 2006.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Moisture Analyses at ECMWF: Evaluation Using Global Ground-Based In Situ Observations
TL;DR: In situ soil moisture from 117 stations across the world and under different biome and climate conditions are used to evaluate two soil moisture products from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil moisture effects on seasonal temperature and precipitation forecast scores in Europe
Bart van den Hurk,Francisco J. Doblas-Reyes,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Randal D. Koster,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Helio Camargo +5 more
TL;DR: The Second Global Land Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE2) is designed to explore the improvement of forecast skill of summertime temperature and precipitation up to 8 weeks ahead by using realistic soil moisture initialization.
