Assimilation of river discharge in a land surface model to improve estimates of the continental water cycles

<p>River discharge plays an important role in earth's water cycle, but it is difficult to estimate due to un-gauged rivers, human activities and measurement errors. One approach is based on the observed flux and a simple annual water balance model (ignoring human processes) for un-gaug...
