A synthetic experiment to investigate the potential of assimilating LAI through direct insertion in a land surface model

This study evaluates the potential of assimilating phenology observations using a direct insertion (DI) method by constraining the modeled terrestrial carbon dynamics with synthetic observations of vegetation condition. Specifically, observations of leaf area index (LAI) are assimilated in the Noah-...
