A Mission Simulation and Evaluation Platform for Terrestrial Hydrology using the NASA Land Information System (LIS) Project

<p> Develop a mission simulation and evaluation platform for terrestrial hydrology missions by creating an end-to-end observation system simulation experiment (OSSE) platform by using NASA LIS’ data assimilation, optimization, and uncertainty estimation tools.  This platform will enable:<br /> Quantifying the impact of observations through a variety of OSSE configurations and evaluation metrics related to terrestrial hydrologic science and applications<br /> Improving the use of products for end-use applications and science, and quantifying the mission risks for GPM and GRACE-II</p>
