2 Introduction Background & Rationale COSMOS measurement principle Station design measurements & sensors Data Results and future work
3 Scientific Rationale
4 Why is Soil Moisture Important? Because: 1) Soil Moisture (SM) controls the land surface energy balance: Solar radiation (sunlight) warms the earth s surface warming the ground (soil heat flux) - Warming the air (sensible heat flux) - And evaporating moisture from soil and plants (evapotranspiration) - Soil thermal properties are controlled by SM - Reflected and emitted radiation depends on soil moisture
5 Why is Soil Moisture Important? Because: 2) Soil Moisture (SM) controls hydrological processes - Runoff - Infiltration - Recharge of groundwater - Evaporation - Availability of water to plants/crops - Available water resource Diagram from
6 Cosmic Rays and Soil Moisture (1) A cascade of high-energy (~1 GeV) secondary neutrons are produced by primary cosmic ray protons entering the earth s magnetosphere (2) High-energy secondary neutrons collide with nuclei in the atmosphere evaporating fast neutrons (~1MeV) these are scattered in the air and ground, loosing energy to become thermal (0.025 ev) or epithermal neutrons (> 0.5 ev) From Zreda et. al. Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., 16, , doi: /hess
7 The COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System Naturally occurring high energy neutrons generated by cosmic rays, are at equilibrium above the surface: the balance of supply of fast neutrons and their moderation (thermalisation) by surrounding nuclei. BF 3 or He 3 gas discharge tube a.k.a. cosmic ray soil moisture probe) detects reduction in fast neutrons as soil moisture increases (more H). atoms). Courtesy of: Marek Zreda, Jim Shuttleworth, Xubin Zeng, Chris Zweck and Ty Ferre Cosmic Ray Soil Moisture Probe (Hydroinnova CRS-2000/B) at Hollin Hill, N. Yorks.
8 COSMOS Measurement area (modelled) COSMOS integrates soil moisture over a 200 m radius 86% of neutrons detected are from within a radius of 200 m Footprint is mostly independent of soil moisture Footprint increases with altitude (decreasing pressure) By Marek Zreda
9 Measurement depth (modelled) COSMOS integrates soil moisture from the surface to a depth of cm depending on the soil moisture content 86% of neutrons from within 70 cm soil depth for very dry conditions In very wet soils only neutrons from the top 12 cm reach detector neutron source soil depths are independent of altitude (pressure) By Marek Zreda
10 Corrections to Neutron Counts Raw neutron counts (N raw ) and the correction factors applied (F p, F Q, F C, black lines) to obtain corrected counts (N corr ) for CHIMN. Relevant variables (p, Q, C) are also shown in each case (green lines, right-hand axes). The temporal resolution of the data is 60 min.
11 Sensors Goal is to measure water and energy balances research grade weather station, 4-component radiometer, heat flux plates and soil temperature profile Point soil moisture sensors (x2) at 10 cm, and soil moisture profile for sense check. High accuracy, low maintenance weighing rain gauge. All sensors logged on a Campbell CR3000 with GPRS telemetry.

24 Thank you. Questions..?
25 Data Assimilation: COSMIC The variable measurement depth of the Cosmic-ray Soil Moisture Sensor compared to the constant soil moisture depth layers in land surface models (LSM) could be a disadvantage. But by using the predicted soil moisture from the LSM to predict the expected neutron count circumvents this issue. The COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Interaction Code (COSMIC 1 ) provides an analytical model to predict neutron counts from the LSM, allowing data assimilation of measured counts. 1.Shuttleworth et.al. 2013, HESS
26 WHY SOIL MOISTURE IS IMPORTANT? Outline - MOTIVATIONS - THE JULES MODEL - a land-surface model (Thanks to Eleanor Blyth and Alberto Martinez-de la Torre) - THE GRID-TO-GRID MODEL - a hydrological model (Thanks to Vicky Bell)
27 WHY SOIL MOISTURE IS IMPORTANT? Soil moisture effects many human activities Floods Agriculture Land-use Soil availability
28 WHY SOIL MOISTURE MODELLING? Traditional field measurement of soil moisture is time consuming and expensive Soil moisture is not routinely monitored over the long term like precipitation and discharge The remotely sensed soil moisture data has its own uncertainties; e.g. mismatch in scale between the in situ measurements; surface estimates only. vs Increasing computational speeds allow for more accurate numerical modelling techniques Models can tell what will be: evaluating effects of land-use, climate changes
29 THE LAND-SURFACE MODEL JULES JULES is a community model of land surface, vegetation and soil processes led by CEH and the UK Met Office Applications: ~200 users across NERC, Met Office, universities, overseas, >40 NERC proposals since 2008 with JULES activity Used by the Met Office weather and climate models (IPCC) Will be used in NERC/Met Office UK Earth System Model (UKESM1)

31 THE LAND-SURFACE MODEL JULES Energy Budget Energy flows between the surface and the atmosphere: radiation, heat and latent heat Carbon Cycle Carbon assimilated from the air, converted Into leaf, roots and stem carbon. Photosynthesis Carbon and water flows through the stomata between the surface and the atmosphere: photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration Water Budget Water flows between the atmosphere and the surface The snow pack can have up to 3 layers Water and heat flows: ice formation effect CO2 and CH4 release from soil modified from: JULES: Best et al, 2011, Clark et al, 2011, GMD.

33 THE LAND-SURFACE MODEL JULES Model INPUT Incoming solar radiation Relative humidity Atmospheric pressure Air temperature Precipitation Wind speed Soil moisture and runoff component Model soil moisture OUTPUT Averaged soil moisture typically at 4 depths 1. Incoming moisture is split into runoff and water absorbed. Runoff is diverted in rivers. 2. There is a constant redistribution of water within the soil column as it tries to reach a state of equilibrium. This is determined using the Darcy s law: q = K Ψ z At the bottom of the soil layers (3m), water is taken out at a rate assuming only gravitational effects free drainage. 4. This drainage joins the surface runoff in rivers. 10 cm 35 cm 100 cm 300 cm
34 THE LAND-SURFACE MODEL JULES Soil moisture content for all UK at 1km resolution: mean for the period Standard deviation of the soil moisture content anomalies at global scale at ~50km resolution for the cm depth cm depth Available at Plot scale soil moisture content evolution in time for different layers. CHESS (1km resolution) driving data available thought the CEH webpage

CO2 and CH4 release from soil Dry snow Wet snow Unsaturated zone Saturated zone The snow pack can have up to 2 layers Surface and sub-surface runoff routed laterally to estimate downstream rive flows

Hydrological Processes, 27(20), Soil moisture This map uses the G2G estimates of subsurface storage to highlight areas where water storage, s, is below or above the monthly mean (s mean ), and by how much (mm) This map highlights areas where the ground is WET relative to the long term now used by EA/FFC in their fortnightly Flood Outlook Collaboration with EA and Met Office
39 Applications: seasonal hydrological forecasts The most recent end of month G2G sub-surface storage estimate is used as the initial condition for a water-balance forecast of the next 1- and 3- months sub-surface storage using Met Office GloSea5 rainfall forecast ensemble members and climatological PE as input (Bell et al. 2013). G2G run Observed rain+ PE Present day WB model run for 1-3 months ahead Ensemble forecast monthly rain + mean PE Corresponding ensembles of regional river flow estimates for the next 1- and 3-months ahead can be estimated using the water balance (WB) hydrological model using historical and spatial information from the G2G.
