The ongoing ESA funded'SMOS + Vegetation' project combines a retrieval component that aims at further improving the SMOS VOD product with an assimilation component that aims at demonstrating the added value of this product in constraining simulated land surface fluxes of carbon dioxide. This contribution focuses on the project's modelling and assimilation component. We describe the construction of dedicated observation operators that link the state of the terrestrial biosphere model to simulated VOD and surface layer soil moisture. We present our carbon assimilation system around a terrestrial biosphere model and demonstrate its operation through simultaneous assimilation of the SMOS VOD product over seven sites covering a range of plant functional types.

Abstract
The ongoing ESA funded'SMOS + Vegetation' project combines a retrieval component that aims at further improving the SMOS VOD product with an assimilation component that aims at demonstrating the added value of this product in constraining simulated land surface fluxes of carbon dioxide. This contribution focuses on the project's modelling and assimilation component. We describe the construction of dedicated observation operators that link the state of the terrestrial biosphere model to simulated VOD and surface layer soil moisture. We present our carbon assimilation system around a terrestrial biosphere model and demonstrate its operation through simultaneous assimilation of the SMOS VOD product over seven sites covering a range of plant functional types.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
