    Abstract
  • Hybrid data assimilation (DA) is a new method used in recent hydrology and water resources research. In this paper, a DA method coupled with the support vector machines (SVM) and the ensemble kalman filter (EnKF) technology is used for the prediction of soil moisture at different soil layers: 0 cm, 30 cm, 50 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm and 200 cm. SVM method is a statistically sound and robust approach for solving the inverse problem by building statistical models. So far, SVM has a great use in such problems to classify or predict data which often contain some useful information. The principle strength of this machine lies in the use of Structural Risk Minimization (SRM) rather than Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM). EnKF is an extension of the kalman filter, a well-known method for updating information. It is one of the mostly used sequential DA methods in recently land data assimilation research. Herein, the SVM methodology is firstly used to train the ground measurements of soil moisture and meteorological parameters from Meilin study area to construct the soil moisture statistical predictor models. Then the subsequent observations and their statistics were used for the future predictions by using two approaches: SVM predictor and SVM-EnKF model by coupling SVM model with EnKF technique using DA method. Validation results showed that the proposed SVM model coupled with EnKF technology can effectively improve the predictions of soil moisture in different layers, from surface to root zone.
