abstract = {Accurate and reliable hydrologic simulations are important
for many applications, such as water resources management,
future water availability projections and predictions of
extreme events. However, the accuracy of waterbalance
estimates is limited by the lack of observations at large
scales and the uncertainties of model simulations due to
errors in model structure and inputs (e.g. hydrologic
parameters and atmospheric forcings). In this study, weused
a joint model parameter calibration and data assimilation
approach to improve continental-scale hydrologic estimates
of soil moisture, surface runoff, discharge and total water
storage. The assimilation experiment was conductedover a
time period from 2000 – 2014 with the Community Land
Model, version 3.5 (CLM3.5) integrated with the Parallel
Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF) in the Terrestrial System
Modeling Platform (TerrSysMPPDAF)at a spatial resolution of
approximately 3km over Europe. The model was forced with the
high-resolution reanalysis COSMO-REA6 from Hans-Ertel Centre
for Weather Research (HErZ). Using this modeling
framework,the coarse-resolution remotely sensed ESA CCI soil
moisture (SM) daily data were first downscaled to the model
resolution and then assimilated into TerrSysMP-PDAF. The
impact of remotely sensed soil moisture data on
improvingcontinental-scale hydrologic estimates was analyzed
through comparisons with independent observationsincluding
ESA CCI-SM, E-RUN runoff, GRDC river discharge and total
water storage from GRACE satellite.Cross-validation with
independent CCI-SM observations show that estimates of soil
moisture improved, particularlyin the summer and autumn
seasons. The assimilation experiment also showed overall
improvements in runoffparticularly during peak runoff. The
results demonstrate the potential of assimilating satellite
soil moisture observationsto improve high-resolution
hydrologic model simulations at the continental scale, which
is useful for waterresources assessment and monitoring.},
