Abstract
The accurate estimation of terrestrial water and vegetation is a grand challenge in hydrometeorology. Many previous studies developed land data assimilation systems (LDASs) and provided global-scale land surface data sets by integrating numerical simulation and satellite data. However, vegetation dynamics have not been explicitly solved in these land reanalysis data sets. Here we present the newly developed land reanalysis data set, ECoHydrological Land reAnalysis (ECHLA). ECHLA is generated by sequentially assimilating C- and X-band microwave brightness temperature satellite observations into a land surface model which can explicitly simulate the dynamic evolution of vegetation biomass. The ECHLA data set provides semiglobal soil moisture from surface to 1.95 m depth, Leaf Area Index (LAI), and vegetation water content. The ECHLA data set is publicly available in the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency's repository and is expected to contribute to understanding terrestrial ecohydrological cycles and water-related natural disasters such as drought.

期刊介绍:
Geoscience Data Journal provides an Open Access platform where scientific data can be formally published, in a way that includes scientific peer-review. Thus the dataset creator attains full credit for their efforts, while also improving the scientific record, providing version control for the community and allowing major datasets to be fully described, cited and discovered.
An online-only journal, GDJ publishes short data papers cross-linked to – and citing – datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres and awarded DOIs. The journal will also accept articles on data services, and articles which support and inform data publishing best practices.
Data is at the heart of science and scientific endeavour. The curation of data and the science associated with it is as important as ever in our understanding of the changing earth system and thereby enabling us to make future predictions. Geoscience Data Journal is working with recognised Data Centres across the globe to develop the future strategy for data publication, the recognition of the value of data and the communication and exploitation of data to the wider science and stakeholder communities.
