DATA ASSIMILATION Model-data assimilation describes a set of mathematical algorithms used to optimally combine DATA ASSIMILATION Model-data assimilation describes a set of mathematical algorithms used to optimally combine the information contained in models and observations. The underlying principle is to minimise the mismatch between model predictions and observations through direct adjustment of model states (‘state estimation’) or through adjustment of model parameters (‘parameter estimation’). The output from an assimilation scheme is estimates of ‘target variables’ of the model (state variables, parameters and/or fluxes) obtained when the mismatch between model and observations is minimal. While simple in principle, there are numerous difficulties to overcome. However, the outcome of implementing a successful assimilation scheme is a quantifiable improvement in predictive capability even in systems dominated by chaotic processes.

(In case if the snowmelting process affects the runoff generation, an equivalent amount of liquid water can be computed, for instance, by using SNOW-17 program, usually used together with SAC-SMA). Please note that, for background forecasting flash floods, precipitation layer can be set by using the WRF model output, while for improved forecasting radar data and data collected in the local network of automatic weather stations are required.
