Soil Moisture Data Assimilation in MISDc for Improved Hydrological Simulation in Upper Huai River Basin, China
In recent years, flash floods have become increasingly serious. Improving the runoff simulation and forecasting ability of hydrological models is urgent. Therefore, data assimilation (DA) methods have become an important tool. Many studies have shown that the assimilation of remotely sensed soil moisture (SM) data could help improve the simulation and forecasting capability of hydrological models. Still, very few studies have attempted to assimilate SM data from land surface process models into hydrological models to improve model simulation and forecasting accuracy. Therefore, in this study, we used the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) to assimilate the China Land Data Assimilation System (CLDAS) SM product into the MISDc model. We also corrected the CLDAS SM and assimilated the corrected SM data into the hydrological model. In addition, the effects of the 5th and 95th percentiles of flow were evaluated to see how SM DA affected low and high flows, respectively. Additionally, we tried to find an appropriate size for the number of ensemble members of the EnKF for this study. The results showed that the EnKF SM DA improved the runoff simulation ability of the hydrological model, especially for the high flows of the model; however, the simulation for the low flows deteriorated. In general, SM DA positively affected the ability of the MISDc model runoff simulation.
