Verification of the new ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis over France
Camille Szczypta,Jean-Christophe Calvet,Clément Albergel,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Souhail Boussetta,Dominique Carrer,Sébastien Lafont,Catherine Meurey +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of the global ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis ERA-Interim (with a 0.5° grid) is performed over France, based on the high resolution (8 km) SAFRAN atmospheric re-analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confronting Weather and Climate Models with Observational Data from Soil Moisture Networks over the United States
Paul A. Dirmeyer,Jiexia Wu,Holly E. Norton,Wouter Dorigo,Steven M. Quiring,T. Ford,Joseph A. Santanello,Michael G. Bosilovich,Michael Ek,Randal D. Koster,Gianpaolo Balsamo,David M. Lawrence +11 more
TL;DR: Four land surface models in uncoupled and coupled configurations are compared to observations of daily soil moisture from 19 networks in the conterminous United States to determine the viability of such comparisons and explore the characteristics of model and observational data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring multi-decadal satellite earth observation of soil moisture products through land surface reanalyses
Clément Albergel,Wouter Dorigo,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Joaquín Muñoz-Sabater,P. de Rosnay,Lars Isaksen,Luca Brocca,R.A.M. de Jeu,Wolfgang Wagner +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a microwave-based multi-satellite surface soil moisture date set (SM-MW) is used to monitor at a global scale the consistency of a new microwave based multiscale surface soil humidity date set over multi-decadal time period (1980-2010).
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a Kalman Filter based soil moisture analysis system for the operational ECMWF Integrated Forecast System
Matthias Drusch,Klaus Scipal,P. de Rosnay,Gianpaolo Balsamo,Erik Andersson,Philippe Bougeault,Pedro Viterbo +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a point-wise Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) was used for soil moisture analysis in the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
