Assimilating ESA CCI land surface temperature into the ORCHIDEE land surface model: insights from a multi-site study across Europe by L.-E. Olivera-Guerra, C. Ottlé, N. Raoult, P. Peylin

“…Recent advancements in high-quality satellite-derived LST data and land data assimilation systems present a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between global observational data and land surface models (LSMs) to better constrain the water and energy budgets in a changing climate. In this vein, this study focuses on the assimilation of the ESA CCI-LST product into the ORCHIDEE LSM (the continental part of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace Earth system model) with the aim of optimizing key parameters to improve the simulation of LST and surface energy fluxes. …”
