Abstract The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission Level-4 Surface and Root-Zone (L4_SM) data product is generated by assimilating SMAP L-band brightness temperature observations into the NASA Catchment land surface model. L4_SM available from 31 March 2015 to present (within 3 days real time) provides 3-hourly, global, 9-km resolution estimates of (0–5 cm) root-zone (0–100 soil moisture conditions. This study presents an overview algorithm, validation approach, assessment versus in...

Abstract. In 2009, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated as a community effort, funded by European Space Agency, to serve centralised data hosting facility for globally available in situ soil moisture measurements (Dorigo et al., 2011b, a). The ISMN brings together collected and freely shared multitude of organisations, harmonises them terms units sampling rates, applies advanced quality control, stores database. Users can retrieve from this database through an online...

Abstract. Climate change increases the occurrence and severity of droughts due to increasing temperatures, altered circulation patterns, reduced snow occurrence. While Europe has suffered from drought events in last decade unlike ever seen since beginning weather recordings, harmonized long-term datasets across continent are needed monitor support predictions. Here we present soil moisture data 66 cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNSs) (COSMOS-Europe for short) covering recent events. The CRNS...

This paper presents a quantitative comparison of plausible climate and land use change impacts on the hydrology large‐scale agricultural catchment. An integrated, distributed hydrological model was used to simulate changes in groundwater system its discharge rivers drains for two scenarios (2071–2100). Annual recharge increased significantly (especially B2 scenario), giving higher heads stream discharges amplifying seasonal dynamics significantly. Owing drier summers, irrigation volumes by...

Abstract. The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity Mission (SMOS) acquires surface soil moisture data of global coverage every three days. Product validation for a range climate environmental conditions across continents is crucial step. For this purpose, temperature sensor network was established in the Skjern River Catchment, Denmark. objectives article are to describe method implement suited SMOS validation, present sample collected by verify approach. design phase included (1) selection...

The 26 December 2004 tsunami caused widespread destruction and contamination of coastal aquifers across southern Asia. Seawater filled domestic open dug wells also entered the via direct infiltration during first flooding waves later as ponded seawater infiltrated through permeable sands that are typical aquifers. In Sri Lanka alone, it is estimated over 40,000 drinking water were either destroyed or contaminated. From February September 2005, a team United States, Lankan, Danish resource...

Improved understanding of unsaturated flow and transport processes is limited by the lack appropriate in situ measurement techniques. This study was conducted to determine whether two noninvasive cross‐borehole geophysical methods combined could be used estimate important zone parameters, namely pore water velocity longitudinal dispersivity. Cross‐borehole electrical resistivity tomography ground penetrating radar were temporal spatial variation content, respectively, during a 20‐d forced...

Abstract The cosmic ray neutron method was developed for intermediate‐scale soil moisture detection, but may potentially be used other hydrological applications. signal of different hydrogen pools is poorly understood and separating them difficult based on measurements alone. Including transport modeling accommodate this shortcoming. However, measured modeled neutrons are not directly comparable. Neither the scale nor energy ranges equivalent, exact sensitivity detectors unknown. Here a...

Abstract The hydrological modeling community is aware that the validation of distributed models has to move beyond aggregated performance measures, like hydrograph assessment by means Nash‐Suitcliffe efficiency toward a true spatial model validation. Remote sensing facilitates continuous data and can be measured on similar scale as predictive thereby it serve suitable for human perception often described very reliable well‐trained source pattern comparison, which this study wants exploit.

Abstract Spatially distributed hydrological models are traditionally calibrated and evaluated against few spatially aggregated observations such as river discharge. This model evaluation approach does not enable an assessment of the predictive capabilities other states fluxes nor it give any insight into ability to mimic spatial patterns within a catchment. The current study explores multivariable optimization complex coupled surface–subsurface–atmosphere at catchment scale in attempt move...
