He et al. (2023) SMPD: a soil moisture-based precipitation downscaling method for high-resolution daily satellite precipitation estimation
This study introduces the Soil Moisture-based Precipitation Downscaling (SMPD) method, a novel physically-based approach utilizing the soil-water balance equation and high-resolution soil moisture to downscale daily GPM IMERG precipitation from 10 kilometers to 1 kilometer over the Iberian Peninsula, resulting in enhanced spatial detail and improved accuracy metrics.

Kreibich et al. (2023) Panta Rhei benchmark dataset: socio-hydrological data of paired events of floods and droughts
This paper presents the Panta Rhei benchmark dataset, a unique compilation of socio-hydrological data for 45 paired events (two floods or two droughts occurring in the same area) across 42 global study areas, designed to facilitate comparative analysis of changes in risk drivers and support socio-hydrological model development.

Dari et al. (2023) Regional data sets of high-resolution (1 and 6 km) irrigation estimates from space
This study presents the first regional-scale, high-resolution (1 km and 6 km) gridded data sets of irrigation water use derived from satellite soil moisture observations over three major river basins (Ebro, Po, and Murray–Darling), demonstrating satisfactory performance in quantifying irrigation amounts and timing, particularly in semiarid regions.

Collignan et al. (2023) Budyko Framework Based Analysis of the Effect of Climate Change on Watershed Evaporation Efficiency and Its Impact on Discharge Over Europe
This study proposes a methodology combining the Budyko framework with Land Surface Model (LSM) outputs across 2,134 European watersheds (1902–2010) to separate the effects of changes in climate means versus intra-annual distribution on discharge, finding that annual precipitation trends generally dominate, except in the Mediterranean where intra-annual precipitation variability is more critical than potential evapotranspiration (PET) trends.

Fathalli et al. (2023) Weather regimes and rainfall over Tunisia in a multi-model ensemble versus a multi-member ensemble
This study establishes a 7-regime Weather Regime (WR) classification for the North African-Mediterranean domain and evaluates the performance of WRF multi-member and Euro-Cordex multi-model ensembles in simulating these regimes and their associated daily rainfall over Tunisia. Results show that model performance and uncertainty are highly regime-dependent, with wet conditions driven by WR5 and WR3, and the WRF ensemble generally outperforming Euro-Cordex.

Fu et al. (2023) Soil Moisture Estimation by Assimilating In‐Situ and SMAP Surface Soil Moisture Using Unscented Weighted Ensemble Kalman Filter
This study utilized the Unscented Weighted Ensemble Kalman Filter (UWEnKF) coupled with the 1-D Richards equation to analyze soil moisture data assimilation performance at two sites in the Yellow River source region, concluding that filter accuracy is primarily governed by the quality of assimilated data (e.g., downscaling remote sensing products) and the accurate determination of error covariance.
