Assimilation of Backscatter Observations into a Hydrological Model: A Case Study in Belgium Using ASCAT Data

Assimilation of Backscatter Observations into a Hydrological Model: A Case Study in Belgium Using ASCAT Data

We investigated the possibilities of improving hydrological simulations by assimilating radar backscatter observations from the advanced scatterometer (ASCAT) in the hydrological model SCHEME using a calibrated water cloud model (WCM) as an observation operator. The WCM simulates backscatter based o...
