Configurations to analyse snow water equivalent in the SEKF

  1. Input analysed snow depth by the 2D-OI (arpifs/obs_preproc/obsgen.F90)
  2. Calculate and input additional EDA Jacobians related to snow (gen/fetchmars, arpifs/sekf/sekf_geteda_jacobians.F90)
    • Covariances between soil moisture and snow depth are set to 0
    • Covariances between snow water equivalent and 2m temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture are also set to 0
      • These 2 settings mean that observations to analyse each control variable are similar to the current system
    • Jacobians between snow water equivalent and snow depth are set to 1/rsn (based on the relationship in the model)
  3. Analyse snow water equivalent using the analysed snow depth and Jacobians (arpifs/sekf/sm_ekf_main.F90)
    • σo=0.01 [m]
    • σb=2.0 [kg/m2] (=0.01 [m] if ρ=200 [kg/m3])
  4. So far, increments for snow water equivalent are not reflected to the analysis field (offline calculation only)

Future work

  • Input snow observations directly in the SEKF (the same task as soil moisture analysis using 2m temperature and relative humidity)
    • Need to implement a localization in observation space
    • Each QC also should be implemented in the SEKF
  • Consider flow dependent background errors
