• Establishing an integrated data and information service is one of the major objectives of the International Polar Year (IPY). The land data assimilation technology, which was booming in the last few years, provide an integrated approach to generate spatial and temporal consistent datasets of snow, frozen soil and other cryospheric (and related land surface) states. We have developed a land data assimilation system which can assimilate remote sensing observations into land surface models and then produce reanalyzed cryospheric datasets with high spatial and temporal resolutions.
• The objective of CLDAS is to develop an operational Land Data Assimilation System for the whole China’s land territory with a spatial resolution of 0.25 and temporal resolution of one hour, and in the mean time to improve the presentations of cold region process in both land surface models and radiative transfer models.
2. Forcing data preparation by using an atmospheric data
assimilation system• In CLDAS, the forcing data are prepared by an
atmospheric data assimilation system based on Newtonian nudging. The NCEP reanalysis data are dynamically downscaled using the regional climatic model MM5 with reanalysis data as the background and observations. Comparisons with the objective analysis of meteorological measurements and the uncontrolled modeling showed that the atmospheric data assimilation system can produce more reliable downscaling of forcing fields.

• JMA-GSM currently adopts a Simple Biosphere (SiB) model, which is developed by Sellers in 1986.
• In new SiB, snow and soil processes are improved substantially.

6. Summary• We have developed a LDAS for China’s land territory.
By merging the remote sensing observations into the dynamics of land surface model, CLDAS is capable of producing the evolution of land surface states, such as soil moisture, soil temperature and snow water equivalent, in good physical and spatiotemporal consistence and improved accuracy.
• CLDAS is capable of using passive microwave remotely sensed data such as SSM/I, TMI, and AMSR-E. We expect that the CLDAS output will be used in various large-scale and catchmental-scale land surface and hydrological studies and can have a potential contribution to IPY.
