Parameter optimisation for a better representation of drought by LSMs: inverse modelling vs. sequential data assimilation

Soil maximum available water content (MaxAWC) is a key parameter in land surface models (LSMs). However, being difficult to measure, this parameter is usually uncertain. This study assesses the feasibility of using a 15-year (1999–2013) time series of satellite-derived low-resolution observation...
