Abstract. This article describes a modular ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) system which is developed for an integrated surface–subsurface hydrological model. The software environment DA the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF), provides various algorithms like ensemble Kalman filters, non-linear 3D-Var and combinations among them. model HydroGeoSphere (HGS), physically based modelling simulation of surface variably saturated subsurface flow, as well heat mass transport. coupling capabilities are described demonstrated using idealised geologically heterogeneous alluvial river–aquifer with drinking water production via riverbank filtration. To demonstrate its modularity adaptability, both single multivariate assimilations hydraulic head soil moisture observations in combination individual joint updating multiple simulated states (i.e. heads saturation) parameters conductivity). With this framework, we have essentially hydrologically DA-wise robust toolbox developing basic operational management coupled water–groundwater resources.

Particularly, travel time evapotranspired for describing origin young contribution to evapotranspiration, but yet poorly understood. In this study, we revisited Lagrangian particle-tracking model, EcoSLIM, separate evaporation transpiration particles using mass balance approach. This separation allowed us determine distribution with different sources (i.e., rainfall, snowmelt, pre-stored groundwater) captured by transpiration. We validated against those computed physically-based ParFlow-CLM which yields expected target fluxes simulating physical processes controlling energy balances. Our results demonstrated high accuracy modified EcoSLIM closing balance, as evidenced R2 > 0.9 between tracked masses fluxes.
