A comparison of ASCAT and modelled soil moisture over South Africa, using TOPKAPI in land surface mode

In this paper we compare two independent soil moisture estimates over South Africa. The first estimate is a Soil Saturation Index (SSI) provided by automated real-time computations of the TOPKAPI hydrological model, adapted to run as a collection of independent 1 km cells with centres on a grid with...
