4DHydro – Hyper-resolution Earth observations and land-surface modeling for a better understanding of the water cycle

HELMHOLTZ – ZENTRUM FUER UMWELTFORS (DE)

Summary

The project brings together the EO water cycle community developing novel high-resolution EO data products, and the land surface and hydrological modelling community engaged in advancing hyper-resolution modelling of the hydrological cycle at regional and continental scales to assess the uncertainty of existing EO and LSM/HM data sets related to key terrestrial ECVs and generate improved datasets at 1 km spatial resolution in the selected study areas. Targeted science cases will demonstrate the synchronization of EO products and LSM/HMs models for improved predictability of hydrology systems at higher spatial and temporal resolutions, while use cases will develop tools to enhance the ability of end-users and decision-makers to extract and manipulate existing and future reanalysis and climate data sets.
