TY - DATA T1 - SMAP and Sentinel-1 data of the Rhine basin PY - 2020/07/09 AU - Jorge Vega UR - https://data.4tu.nl/articles/dataset/SMAP_and_Sentinel-1_data_of_the_Rhine_basin/12763850/1 DO - 10.4121/uuid:99176da8-4ca5-4617-aacd-c801df4a8214 KW - Data assimilation KW - Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) KW - Water Content KW - master thesis KW - soil moisture N2 - SMAP L3, corresponds to high-resolution satellite soil moisture in (m3 m-3) from active and passive sensors. This dataset can be useful to perform data assimilation of soil moisture with Delft-FEWS system for hydrologic forecasting of the Rhine basin. This will improve the accuracy of the discharge predictions because of the improvements on the states of soil moisture. The Sentinel-1 dataset corresponds to high-resolution soil moisture (%) from a passive sensor. This dataset can be used for data assimilation too, but the improvements are not as good as SMAP. ER -
