Abstract The task of quantifying spatial and temporal variations in terrestrial water, energy, vegetation conditions is challenging due to the significant complexity heterogeneity these conditions, all which are impacted by climate change anthropogenic activities. To address this challenge, Earth Observations (EOs) land their utilization within data assimilation (DA) systems vital. Satellite EOs particularly relevant, as they offer quasi‐global coverage, non‐intrusive, provide uniformity,...
