Dear RegCENT users,

Good afternoon. Hope you are doing well. Today I would like to share an important issue with you. Basically, the satellite soil moisture product was implemented in the RegCM4 regional climate model for the purpose of seasonal forecast but not tested in arid regions such as Egypt.

Here I would like to share some papers done in Egypt exploring the role of the ESACCI satellite soil moisture product in simulating of various variables such as: 

1 - daily maximum and minimum air temperature:

2 - soil temperature:

3 - potential evapotranspiration:

Hope you can find it interesting.

Have a good day.

Best Regards
