Short summary
Short summary
We developed an improved model to better understand how water and energy move through natural landscapes (forest, grasslands, croplands, etc) throughout the day. By using detailed data from study-site in Germany, we tested the model and found its good agreement with micro-meteorological measurements. Unlike many other tools, this model works without needing new adjustments and offers a powerful way to study fast-changing water processes in different environments.

Short summary
This study presents a new version of a framework which allows us to model water balance components at any site on a local scale. Compared with the first version, the second incorporates new datasets used to set up and force the model. In particular, we highlight the ability of the framework to provide seasonal forecasts. This gives potential stakeholders (farmers, foresters, policymakers, etc.) the possibility to forecast, for example, soil moisture drought and thus apply the necessary measures.

Short summary
Short summary
High-resolution precipitation data are often a “must” as input for hydrological and hydraulic models (i.e. urban drainage modelling). However, station or climate projection data usually do not provide the required (e.g. sub-hourly) resolution. In the work, we present two new statistical models of different types to disaggregate precipitation from a daily to a 10 min scale. Both models were validated using radar data and then applied to climate models for 10 stations in Germany and South Korea.

Short summary
In the study we analysed the uncertainties of the meteorological data and model parameterization for evaporation modelling. We have taken a physically based lumped BROOK90 model and applied it in three different frameworks using global, regional and local datasets. Validating the simulations with eddy-covariance data from five stations in Germany, we found that the accuracy model parameterization plays a bigger role than the quality of the meteorological forcing.

Short summary
An introduced high-resolution soil moisture monitoring framework combines a 1D water balance model, real-time meteorological data, and a national soil database to present point-based operational data with a user-friendly web platform. Its significance lies in the improvement of forest management by making informed, local-scale decisions crucial for mitigating climate change impacts. In the paper, we present a technical description and validation of the framework and showcase its features.
