| Zusammenfassung |
| A plateau scale soil moisture and soil temperature observatory is
established on the Tibetan Plateau for quantifying uncertainties in coarse
resolution satellite and model products of soil moisture and soil
temperature. The Tibetan Plateau observatory of plateau scale soil moisture
and soil temperature (Tibet-Obs) consists of three regional scale in-situ
reference networks, including the Naqu network in a cold semiarid climate,
the Maqu network in a cold humid climate and the Ngari network in a cold
arid climate. These networks provide a representative coverage of the
different climate and land surface hydrometeorological conditions on the
Tibetan plateau. In this paper the details of the Tibet-Obs are reported. To
demonstrate the uniqueness of the Tibet-Obs in quantifying and explaining
soil moisture uncertainties in existing coarse satellite products, an
analysis is carried out to assess the reliability of several satellite
products for the Naqu and the Maqu network areas. It is concluded that
global coarse resolution soil moisture products are useful but exhibit till
now unreported uncertainties in cold and semiarid regions – use of them
would be critically enhanced if uncertainties can be quantified and reduced
using in-situ measurements. |
