Data Assimilation of SMAP Observations and the Impact on Weather Forecasts and Heat StressSPoRT produces real-time LIS soil moisture products for situational awareness and local numerical weather prediction over CONUS, Mesoamerica, and East Africa Currently interact/collaborate with operational partners on evaluation of soil moisture products Drought/fire Extreme heat Convective initiation Flood and water borne diseases Initial efforts to assimilate L2 soil moisture observations from SMOS (as a precursor for SMAP) have been successful Active/passive blended product from SMAP will be assimilated similarly and higher spatial resolution should improve on local-scale processes
