title: PEATCLSM(Tb): A land surface data assimilation product for peatlands using PEATCLSM and brightness temperature (Tb) satellite observations (Northern Hemisphere output, Jan 2010 through Sep 2021)

description: The dataset archived here includes an extended version of the analysis output shown in the paper, “Improved Groundwater Table and L-band Brightness Temperature Estimates for Northern Hemisphere Peatlands Using New Model Physics and SMOS Observations in a Global Data Assimilation Framework”, published in Remote Sensing of Environment Journal (Bechtold et al., 2020). The output was produced by combining peatland-specific land surface modeling (Bechtold et al., 2019b) embedded in the NASA Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM) with L-band brightness temperature (Tb) observations (SMOS), applying the data assimilation framework of the SMAP Level‐4 Soil Moisture product (Reichle et al., 2019). We provide a single NetCDF file of the analysis output (9-km resolution EASEv2 grid, period Jan 2010 through Sep 2021, and between 45°N and 70°N, NE Asia excluded):<br> • daily_images.nc: Daily land states and fluxes (Table 1), provided as netCDF image-chunked image stack The file content is described in the file PEATCLSM_Tb_Documentation_20230830.pdf Please contact Michel Bechtold (michel.bechtold@kuleuven.be) for any questions.

If the data are essential to the work, or if an important result or conclusion depends on the PEATCLSM(Tb) data product, we would appreciate that you discuss these findings with us to ensure correct use and interpretation of the PEATCLSM(Tb) product. Furthermore, we are continuously improving the data assimilation product, a discussion of your work at an early stage may (i) help us to improve our product, and (ii) allow us to provide you with a newer version.
