Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating soil moisture-climate interactions in a changing climate: A review
Sonia I. Seneviratne,T. Corti,Edouard Davin,Martin Hirschi,Eric B. Jaeger,Irene Lehner,Boris Orlowsky,Adriaan J. Teuling +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a synthesis of past research on the role of soil moisture for the climate system, based both on modelling and observational studies, focusing on soil moisture-temperature and soil moistureprecipitation feedbacks, and their possible modifications with climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The European Space Agency (ESA) released the first multi-decadal, global satellite-observed soil moisture (SM) dataset as part of its Climate Change Initiative (CCI) program.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Revised Hydrology for the ECMWF Model: Verification from Field Site to Terrestrial Water Storage and Impact in the Integrated Forecast System
Gianpaolo Balsamo,Anton Beljaars,Klaus Scipal,Pedro Viterbo,Bart van den Hurk,Martin Hirschi,Alan K. Betts +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a revised land surface hydrology (H-TESSEL) is introduced in the ECMWF operational model to address shortcomings of the land surface scheme, specifically the lack of surface runoff and the choice of a global uniform soil texture.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inter-comparison of regional climate models for Europe: model performance in present-day climate
Daniela Jacob,Lars Bärring,Ole Bøssing Christensen,Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen,Manuel Moreno de Castro,Michel Déqué,Filippo Giorgi,Stefan Hagemann,Martin Hirschi,Richard G. Jones,Erik Kjellström,Geert Lenderink,Burkhardt Rockel,Enrique Sánchez,Christoph Schär,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Samuel Somot,Aad van Ulden,Bart van den Hurk +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of possible regional climate changes over Europe as simulated by 10 regional climate models within the context of PRUDENCE requires a careful investigation of possible systematic biases in the models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observational evidence for soil-moisture impact on hot extremes in southeastern Europe
Martin Hirschi,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Vesselin Alexandrov,Fredrik Boberg,C. Boroneant,Ole Bøssing Christensen,Herbert Formayer,Boris Orlowsky,Petr Stepanek +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of observational indices from central and southeastern Europe confirms that summer hot extremes are linked to soil-moisture deficits in southeastern Europe but does not detect a similar effect in central Europe.
