High-resolution drought simulations and comparison to soil moisture observations in Germany
Original language description
Germany 2018 2020 consecutive drought events resulted in multiple sectors including agriculture, forestry, water management, energy production, and transport being impacted. High resolution information systems are key to preparedness for such extreme drought events. This study evaluates the new setup of the one kilometer German drought monitor which is based on daily soil moisture simulations from the mesoscale hydrological model (mHM). The higher resolution of the second GDM version allows for a more detailed representation of the spatial variability of SM, which is particularly beneficial for local risk assessments. Furthermore, the results underline that nationwide drought information systems depend both on appropriate simulations of the water cycle and a broad, high quality, observational soil moisture database.
