摘要： Accurate knowledge of soil moisture is crucial for agricultural drought monitoring. Data assimilation has proven to be a promising technique for improving soil moisture estimation, and various studies have been conducted on soil moisture data assimilation based on land surface models. However, crop growth models, which are ideal tools for agricultural simulation applications, are rarely used for soil moisture assimilation. Moreover, the role of data assimilation in agricultural drought monitoring is seldom investigated. In the present work, we assimilated the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) soil moisture product into the Decision Support System for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT) model to estimate surface and root-zone soil moisture, and we evaluated the effect of data assimilation on agricultural drought monitoring. The results demonstrate that the soil moisture estimates were significantly improved after data assimilation. Root-zone soil moisture had a better agreement with in situ observation. Compared with the drought index based on soil moisture modeled without remotely-sensed observations, the drought index based on assimilated data could improve at least one drought level in agricultural drought monitoring and performed better when compared with winter wheat yield. In conclusion, crop growth model-based data assimilation effectively improves the soil moisture estimation and further strengthens soil moisture-based drought indices for agricultural drought monitoring.
