Abstract
[1] In most operational NWP models, root zone soil moisture is constrained using observations of screen-level temperature and relative humidity. While this generally improves low-level atmospheric forecasts, it often leads to unrealistic model soil moisture. Consequently, several NWP centers are moving toward also assimilating remotely sensed near-surface soil moisture observations. Within this context, an EKF is used to compare the assimilation of screen-level observations and near-surface soil moisture data from AMSR-E into the ISBA land surface model over July 2006. Several issues regarding the use of each data type are exposed, and the potential to use the AMSR-E data, either in place of or together with the screen-level data, is examined. When the two data types are assimilated separately, there is little agreement between the root zone soil moisture updates generated by each, indicating that for this experiment the AMSR-E data could not have replaced the screen-level data to obtain similar surface turbulent fluxes. For the screen-level variables, there is a persistent diurnal cycle in the model-observations bias, which is not related to soil moisture. The resulting diurnal cycle in the analysis increments demonstrates how assimilating screen-level observations can lead to unrealistic soil moisture updates, reinforcing the need to assimilate alternative data sets. However, when the two data types are assimilated together, the near-surface soil moisture provides a much weaker constraint of the root zone soil moisture than the screen-level observations do, and the inclusion of the AMSR-E data does not substantially change the results compared to the assimilation of screen-level variables alone.

<EA>[1] In most operational NWP models, root zone soil moisture is constrained using observations of screen-level temperature and relative humidity. While this generally improves low-level atmospheric forecasts, it often leads to unrealistic model soil moisture. Consequently, several NWP centers are moving toward also assimilating remotely sensed near-surface soil moisture observations. Within this context, an EKF is used to compare the assimilation of screen-level observations and near-surface soil moisture data from AMSR-E into the ISBA land surface model over July 2006. Several issues regarding the use of each data type are exposed, and the potential to use the AMSR-E data, either in place of or together with the screen-level data, is examined. When the two data types are assimilated separately, there is little agreement between the root zone soil moisture updates generated by each, indicating that for this experiment the AMSR-E data could not have replaced the screen-level data to obtain similar surface turbulent fluxes. For the screen-level variables, there is a persistent diurnal cycle in the model-observations bias, which is not related to soil moisture. The resulting diurnal cycle in the analysis increments demonstrates how assimilating screen-level observations can lead to unrealistic soil moisture updates, reinforcing the need to assimilate alternative data sets. However, when the two data types are assimilated together, the near-surface soil moisture provides a much weaker constraint of the root zone soil moisture than the screen-level observations do, and the inclusion of the AMSR-E data does not substantially change the results compared to the assimilation of screen-level variables alone.</EA>
