About this page

This page contains information about the main ELDAS output products: soil moisture fields from 4 participating NWP systems, and associated surface fluxes and state variables from the models.

The general output fields are partially available from the Meteorological MARS archive at ECMWF. However, many fields are not yet stored in that system. This can in a later stage be arranged, if extensive use by external parties justifies this effort. Until then, the fields must be colelcted from the individual participating institutes.

Soil moisture fields

The table below shows per institute where to access the data.

Parameter	ECMWF	DWD	CNRM	INM
Soil moisture content profile  (background)		From Werner Wergen		From Ernesto Rodriguez
Soil moisture content profile (analysis)		From Werner Wergen		From Ernesto Rodriguez

Surface fluxes

Parameter	ECMWF	DWD	CNRM	INM
Surface energy fluxes (Net radiation, sensible & latent heat)		From Werner Wergen		From Ernesto Rodriguez
Surface water fluxes (precipitation, runoff, evaporation, storage, DA increments)		From Werner Wergen		From Ernesto Rodriguez

Other data

Parameter	ECMWF	DWD	CNRM	INM
Soil temperature profile		From Werner Wergen
Leaf area index		From Werner Wergen
