Summary

In C01 we will develop a coupled multi-scale, multi-source data assimilation (DA) system at the continental scale, where remotely sensed surface soil moisture, total water storage changes and land surface temperature data will constrain a coupled reanalysis from groundwater to the land surface. We will evaluate to what extent the reanalysis exhibits skill to represent observed trends, reproduce interannual variability, and to simulate extreme events. A special focus is laid on investigating strategies for identification and correction of anthropogenic impacts on the hydrological system (irrigation, groundwater abstraction) through DA.
