Comparison with ECMWF‘s Global Soil Moisture Analysis
• Every 6 hours, ECMWF performs a global soil moisture analysis for its operational weather prediction model (Integrated Forecast System IFS).
• The soil moisture analysis is based on the soil moisture values modelled in the IFS and corrected by analysed fields of proxy information (i.e. 2m temperature and relative humidity observations; additional use of satellite passive microwave brightness temperature currently tested by MIUB and ECMWF).
• Depth of analysed soil moisture: 1 m.
• Spatial resolution: currently 0.5° lat/lon (0.25° scheduled for next year).
