Short summary
Hydrologic data assimmilation is the area in which methods to integrate hydrological models and observations are investigated. Recently, hydrological or land models have been increasing their complexity, with very high spatial resolution. However, it is unclear that the current data assimilation method can directly be applied to those hyperresolution models, so that I investigated the applicability and limitation of the existing method by minimalistic numerical experiments.
