Abstract
Current attempts to measure short-term (50%) of model error in root-zone (40 cm) soil moisture and latent heat flux predictions associated with the use of temporally sparse rainfall measurements as forcing data. Comparable gains in accuracy are demonstrated when actual TB measurements made during the SGP97 experiment are assimilated.Keywords
