How deep were groundwater levels in natural #peatlands three days ago?
Ask #NASA's operational product "#NASASMAP Level-4 #soilmoisture version 7". You get the combined information of modeling (#PEATCLSM) and satellite data. This is a thread describing the product #PeatTwitter π

A nice example of how a data assimilation dataset (land surface modeling soil moisture sensitive satellite observations) can have a big impact on another research field (fire danger assessment). Congrats Jonas, great paper! #PeatTwitter #PeatPaper #PEATCLSM

This wouldnβt have been possible without the many contributions from the active impact Modeling community so great to have you all on board e.g. @FishMip @AgMIPnews @WimThiery @HMuellerSchmied @simon_gosling @peatfunc and many more
Check the protocol at protocol.isimip.org

Our paper gives detailed insights into where and how much skill improvement we can currently expect with our proposed data assimilation setup. The paper discusses the limiting factors that have to be addressed in future research to increase the improvements that we achieved.
