abstract = {Land surface models (LSMs) use a large cohort of parameters
and state variables to simulate the water and energy balance
at the soil–atmosphere interface. Many of these model
parameters cannot be measured directly in the field, and
require calibration against measured fluxes of carbon
dioxide, sensible and/or latent heat, and/or observations of
the thermal and/or moisture state of the soil. Here, we
evaluate the usefulness and applicability of four different
data assimilation methods for joint parameter and state
estimation of the Variable Infiltration Capacity Model
(VIC-3L) and the Community Land Model (CLM) using a
5-monthcalibration (assimilation) period (March–July 2012)
of areal-averaged SPADE soil moisture measurements at 5, 20,
and 50 cm depths in the Rollesbroich experimental test site
in the Eifel mountain range in western Germany. We used the
EnKF with state augmentation or dual estimation,
respectively, and the residual resampling PF with a simple,
statistically deficient, or more sophisticated, MCMC-based
parameter resampling method. The performance of the
“calibrated” LSM models was investigated using SPADE
water content measurements of a 5-month evaluation period
(August–December 2012). As expected, all DA methods
enhance the ability of the VIC and CLM models to describe
spatiotemporal patterns of moisture storage within the
vadose zone of the Rollesbroich site, particularly if the
maximum baseflow velocity (VIC) or fractions of and, clay,
and organic matter of each layer (CLM) are estimated jointly
with the model states of each soil layer. The differences
between the soil moisture simulations of VIC-3L and CLM are
much larger than the discrepancies among the four data
assimilation methods. The EnKF with state augmentation or
dual estimation yields the best performance of VIC-3L and
CLM during the calibration and evaluation period, yet
results are in close agreementwith the PF using MCMC
resampling. Over-all, CLM demonstrated the best performance
for the Rollesbroich site. The large systematic
underestimation of water storage at 50 cm depth by VIC-3L
during the first few months of the evaluation period
questions, in part, the validity of its fixed water table
depth at the bottom of the modeled soil domain.},
