CONSOLIDATION: consistent climate data records of soil moisture and vegetation though data assimilation KU Leuven
The current wealth of microwave satellite observations and model simulations gives access to global estimates of soil moisture and vegetation. However, both sources of information are of insufficient quality to draw unequivocal conclusions about the short- to long-term variability in the water and carbon cycles over land. CONSOLIDATION will, for the first time, assimilate multiple available microwave-based soil moisture and vegetation ...
