Retrieval of Land Surface Model State Variables through Assimilating Screen Level Humidity and Temperature Measurements

This study demonstrates successful variational retrieval of land surface states by assimilating screen level atmospheric measurements of specific humidity and air temperature. To this end, the land surface scheme is first validated against the Oklahoma Atmospheric Surface Layer Instrumentation Syste...
