Soil moisture observations are of broad scientific interest and practical value for a wide
range of applications. The scientific community has made significant progress in estimating …

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable influencing land–atmosphere interactions, an
essential hydrologic variable impacting rainfall–runoff processes, an essential ecological …

Abstract Framed within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) of the European
Commission, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is …

Abstract Within the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), ECMWF is producing the
ERA5 reanalysis which, once completed, will embody a detailed record of the global …

A high-resolution regional reanalysis of the Indian Monsoon Data Assimilation and Analysis
(IMDAA) project is made available to researchers for deeper understanding of the Indian …

Abstract Climate Data Records of soil moisture are fundamental for improving our
understanding of long-term dynamics in the coupled water, energy, and carbon cycles over …

Data assimilation (DA) methods for convective‐scale numerical weather prediction at
operational centres are surveyed. The operational methods include variational methods (3D …

Core Ideas Satellites, particularly at L‐band frequency, can globally map near‐surface soil
moisture. Near‐surface moisture is extended to the root zone using models and data …

Soil moisture is widely recognized as a key parameter in the mass and energy balance
between the land surface and the atmosphere and, hence, the potential societal benefits of …

Although extreme weather events recur periodically everywhere, the impacts of their
simultaneous occurrence on crop yields are globally unknown. In this study, we estimate the …
