| Title: | Main Title: A variational data assimilation system for soil–atmosphere flux estimates for the Community Land Model (CLM3.5) |
| Description: | Abstract: This article presents the development and implementation of a spatio–temporal variational data assimilation system (4D-var) for the soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer model ’Community Land Model’ (CLM3.5), along with the development of the adjoint code for the core soil-atmosphere transfer scheme of energy and soil moisture. The purpose of this work is to obtain an improved estimation technique for the energy fluxes (sensible and latent heat fluxes) between the soil and the atmosphere. Optimal assessments of these fluxes are neither available from model simulations nor measurements alone, while a 4D-Var data assimilation has the potential to combine both information sources by a Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE). The 4D-Var method requires the development of the adjoint model of the CLM which was established in this work. The new data assimilation algorithm is able to assimilate soil temperature and soil moisture measurements for one dimensional columns of the model grid. Numerical experiments were first used to test the algorithm under idealised conditions. It was found that the analysis delivers improved results whenever there is a dependence between the initial values and the assimilated quantity. Furthermore, soil temperature and soil moisture from in situ field measurements were assimilated. These calculations demonstrate the improved performance of flux estimates, whenever soil property parameters are available of sufficient quality. Misspecifications could also be identified by the performance of the variational scheme. |
