[RegCNET] Important "ESACCI in arid regions"

[Samy Rateb]

Dear RegCNET users,
Good afternoon. Hope you are doing well. I would like to share an important article with you.
Basically, ESACCI satellite soil moisture product is designed for the purpose of seasonal forecast. However, it has not been tested in arid regions (such as Egypt).
In this study, you can see that the RegCM4 (in Egypt) shows a notable sensitivity compared to initialization from bare soil. Also, there is a difference between BATS and CLM45 when the RegCM4 was initialized by the ESACCI satellite product. 
Please check the attached paper for more details. Please circulate to those interested.
Ciao
Samy
