GlobalCDA – Research Project Funded by Developing an Ensemble Kalman Filter calibration and data assimilation (EnC/DA) approach for integrating geodetic and remote sensing data into a global hydrological model Advancing global-scale hydrological modeling and the understanding of the global freshwater system by model development and calibration/data assimilation Pareto-optimal calibration for multiple hydrological signatures and spatio-temporal patterns Optimizing alternative GRACE data sets for calibration and data assimilation and validation of model results using independent data sets Refined estimates of absolute water levels for inland waters from multi-mission satellite altimetry (WALESA) Estimation of river discharge and surface water storage from spaceborne data: full catchment coverage with optimal space and time resolution Error quantification and development of quality layers for global, daily remote sensing products for surface water and snow cover extent and dynamics Estimation of global glacier mass changes Validation of simulated TWS against GNSS News October, 2022 We thank Dr. Heye Bogena for providing a great and extremely interesting excursion for our ECRs to the Wüstebachtal research area belonging to TERENO. Events 05. – 07.10.2022: – ECR excursion to TERENO Wüstebachtal research station in the Eifel, Germany. – Workshop with international researchers and GlobalCDA status meeting in hybrid format – via zoom and at the University of Bonn in Germany.
