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 nhess.copernicus.org/article… [1/3]

Improving the fire weather index system for peatlands using peat-specific hydrological input data

Abstract. The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system, even though originally developed and calibrated for an upland Jack pine forest, is used globally to estimate fire danger for any fire environ...

This wouldn’t have been possible without the many contributions from the active impact Modeling community so great to have you all on board e.g. @FishMip @AgMIPnews @WimThiery @HMuellerSchmied @simon_gosling @peatfunc and many more Check the protocol at protocol.isimip.org

#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! ucc.ie/en/peatquest/

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.
