This study shows that remotely sensed ETact is useful in hydrological modelling for the procedure of model calibration and shows it potential to update soil moisture predictions. Comparison of modeled and remotely sensed ETact together with the outcomes of our data assimilation procedure points out
Computer simulation models are an important tool for hydrologists. With these models they can predict how rainfall is distributed over the different hydrological variables (discharge, soil moisture and groundwater). This way they can retrieve spatially distributed information that is important for
