About #peatland #hydrology and everything that depends on it + #EarthObservation Opinions my own! @KU_Leuven 🇧🇪

How deep were groundwater levels in natural #peatlands three days ago? Ask #NASA's operational product "#NASASMAP Level-4 #soilmoisture version 7". You get the combined information of modeling (#PEATCLSM) and satellite data. This is a thread describing the product #PeatTwitter 👇

A nice example of how a data assimilation dataset (land surface modeling + soil moisture sensitive satellite observations) can have a big impact on another research field (fire danger assessment). Congrats Jonas, great paper! #PeatTwitter #PeatPaper #PEATCLSM
📢Excited to announce the publication of our latest paper on improving the fire weather index (#FWI) system for peatlands by using peat-specific hydrological input data in #NHES journal! 🔥🌱Accessible via https://t.co/qUgA9NKKD7 [1/3]

#PeatTwitter Have a look at this and participate!
#PeatQuest is seeking the most crucial questions that still need answers in #peatland research. If you work with peatlands as a researcher, government official, funder, policymaker, local community group or individual – we want to hear from you!

Our paper gives detailed insights into where and how much skill improvement we can currently expect with our proposed data assimilation setup. The paper discusses the limiting factors that have to be addressed in future research to increase the improvements that we achieved.

We ran the model at 1 km resolution to use much of the high-resolution information in the original Sentinel-1 data. We also worked with Level-1 data and an established observation operator instead of assimilating soil moisture retrievals to obtain a more self-consistent setup.
