陆面模型Noah-MP的不同参数化方案在沙漠区域的适用性研究

为研究陆面模型Noah-MP在沙漠下垫面的最优参数化方案组合,本文利用中国气象局塔克拉玛干沙漠气象野外科学试验基地观测数据,根据沙漠环境特征进行不同参数化方案组合的三组模拟实验,利用观测数据对10 cm土壤温湿度、感热、潜热通量模拟值对比分析得出最优组合。研究表明:第三组对10 cm的土壤温度模拟效果最好,主要原因是Chen97感热交换系数和全网格二流近似(gap=0)辐射传输方案比较符合沙漠的环境特征。三组试验对土壤湿度模拟效果差,其主要原因是沙漠的土壤信息未能体现在模式中,第二组选择CLM方案对土壤类型影响蒸发方面有一定考虑,其模拟结果相对较好。对于感热通量,第一、二组模拟值在波峰存在高估,尤其是第二组模拟值在降水后出现了明显低估情况,第三组模拟效果最好,主要得益于选择了感热交换系数Chen97方案,能够较为真实的刻画Ch变化特征。潜热通量在四个特征量中模拟效果最差,主要原因是沙漠土壤水分极低,观测降水和实际进入土壤的水量有差异,另外没有植被和植物根系,模式无法准确计算土壤蒸发和植被蒸散。根据统计分析和泰勒图可知,第三组能够更好地还原沙漠区域的陆面过程。     

CLM4.0模式对干旱区荒漠草原过渡带快速变化陆面过程的数值模拟研究

利用2012年7-9月微气象蒸发观测实验的观测资料和陆面模式CLM4.0,对荒漠草原过渡带快速变化的陆面过程进行了单点数值模拟试验,通过比较模拟值与观测值来检验模式的模拟能力。结果表明:(1)CLM4.0模式能较好地模拟下垫面快速变化的辐射通量、湍流通量、土壤温度及土壤含水量的变化特征,但模拟值较观测值还存在一定偏差。在干旱及湿润地表状况下,CLM4.0模式模拟的反射辐射与观测值的偏差较小,而草地地表时模拟值较观测值偏高;CLM4.0模式较好地模拟了地表长波辐射的变化趋势,但是在正午和夜间偏差较大。(2)CLM4.0模式模拟的湍流通量与观测值之间的相关系数达0.85以上,但模拟值较观测值偏高。(3)CLM4.0模式模拟的土壤温度及含水量较观测值偏小,且对强降水引起的土壤含水量的变化过程的模拟性能较差。发展适用于干旱荒漠草原过渡带的土壤孔隙度参数化方案,进而通过改善土壤热导率、导水率的模拟有助于提高该类下垫面土壤温度及土壤含水量的模拟性能。     

基于陆面模式Noah-MP的不同参数化方案在半干旱区的适用性

针对陆面模式Noah-MP对兰州大学半干旱气候与环境观测站（SACOL）2009年8月地表热通量模拟值偏差大的问题,通过分析相关物理过程和模拟试验来探究偏差的来源,并确定合适的参数化方案:采用Chen97方案计算感热输送系数可以改善感热通量的模拟;采用Jarvis气孔阻抗方案能增大植被蒸腾,改进模式对潜热通量的模拟效果,同时也使热通量在感热和潜热间的分配比例合理;采用LP92方案可减小土壤蒸发阻抗并有利于土壤蒸发,使得模式对潜热通量的模拟效果变好。不同参数化方案的组合试验表明:同时采用2组或3组新的参数化方案组合可以进一步减小模拟的地表感热和潜热通量的均方根误差,但是土壤湿度和温度的模拟效果并没有同步改善。     

陆面模式CLM4.5对青藏高原高寒草甸地表能量交换模拟性能的评估

利用中国科学院那曲高寒气候环境观测研究站2013年9月1日至2014年8月31日一个完整年的观测资料,对陆面过程模式CLM4.5在青藏高原(下称高原)高寒草甸下垫面地表能量交换的模拟性能进行了评估。模拟结果表明,CLM4.5能够较好的模拟高原春季、夏季和秋季非冻结期地面长波、反射辐射和地表净辐射、感热和潜热通量以及地表土壤热通量等的季节变化和日循环特征。但对冬季冻结期地表温度的模拟偏低,导致模拟与观测的感热反相,对地面反射辐射模拟偏大。截断冬季降水的敏感性试验进一步指出,模式冬季反射辐射偏大主要是由于积雪引起的地表反照率偏高造成,进而造成地表温度以及感热通量的模拟偏低。因此,高原积雪参数化方案以及与积雪相关的反照率参数化方案还需进一步改进和完善。     

陆面过程中冠层四流辐射传输模式的模拟性能检验

利用实际观测资料检验新发展的植被冠层四流辐射传输模式的模拟性能.将浙江大学田间观测数据用于模式试验,其结果表明:在可见光波段,因叶片散射率值较小,四流模式和二流模式模拟结果差别不大,模拟的冠层反照率都接近观测值.这表明在可见光波段,二流模式已经能够较好模拟芯层反照率,四流模式能够提高的精度范围有限;在近红外波段,因叶片散射率值较大,两个模式模拟结果差别较明显,四流模式模拟的冠层反照率相对二流模式的模拟结果更接近观测值.利用第2次雪模式比较计划SNOWMIP资料和改进的10层陆面模式BATS进行耦合试验,将四流模式以及二流模式均耦合到该陆面模式中,其目的是为考察四流模式对陆面模式模拟地表反射太刚短波辐射通量的影响.耦合后得到的结果与SNOWMIP中加拿大BERMS草地站和森林站的观测资料进行了对比.对比结果表明,采用网流模式、二流模式、BATS原辐射传输模式后,耦合四流模式的陆面模式模拟地表反射太阳短波辐射通量最接近观测值.说明采用四流模式能够改善陆面模式对地表反射太阳短波辐射通啦的模拟.     

东亚区域陆面过程方案Noah和Noah-MP的比较评估

文章对天气研究和预报(WRF)模式中两套陆面物理过程参数化方案:Noah及Noah-MP,在整个东亚区域做了评估。评估时间分别为2013年1和7月。通过对地表通量、2 m温度、10 m风速、地表温度、第一层(5 cm)及第二层(25 cm)土壤含水量和第一层(5 cm)及第三层(70 cm)土壤温度的偏差和均方根误差的评估,发现:(1)与Noah陆面参数化方案相比,冬季,Noah-MP方案模拟的地表感热通量在大部分区域偏低,而对地表潜热通量的模拟在大部分区域偏高;夏季,Noah-MP方案对感热通量的模拟值,在印度次大陆、中国西部和相邻区域以及中国东北及其以北地区偏低,其他地区偏高,而对地表潜热通量的模拟在大部分地区偏高,而且幅度明显高于1月。(2)Noah-MP方案提高了土壤水分和土壤温度在东亚区域的整体模拟效果。(3)相较于Noah方案,Noah-MP方案模拟的2 m温度和10 m风的误差较小,特别对印度大陆和高寒地区的2 m温度模拟有较大幅度的提高。此研究证明了Noah-MP在东亚区域的应用优势,为WRF/Noah-MP在未来的进一步业务应用提供了一定的参考依据。     

Noah-MP陆面模式在东疆黑戈壁的适用性

新疆东部黑戈壁作为气候恶劣、人迹罕至及黑色砾石下垫面的生态脆弱区,陆面过程参数化方案不易确定。利用东疆哈密戈壁陆气相互作用站观测数据集,开展Noah-MP陆面模式离线模拟试验,找出适合戈壁区域的最佳参数化方案,并给出了土壤湿度对戈壁区域陆气热交换的影响。结果表明：（1）针对感热通量、潜热通量、净辐射通量和土壤地表温度均表现为第二种参数化方案组合的模拟误差最小,模式效率最高。（2）模式针对土壤湿度的模拟效果均不好,模式预报土壤湿度偏干,第七种方案的模式效率指数较高。（3）针对土壤10 cm温度,第一种方案虽预报效率指数最高,但误差达1.2 ℃左右,第二种方案是模拟和实测误差最小的一种方案,模式预报结果比实测低0.4 ℃。综上所述,第二种方案在东疆黑戈壁地区的普适性最高。（4）Noah-MP在RMAPS-CA系统中在线耦合后,2 m温度的预报效果整体要优于离线Noah模式。     

基于Noah-MP模式的影响青藏高原冻融过程参数化方案评估

针对陆面模式冻融过程模拟偏差较大问题,基于Noah-MP模式对冻融参数化方案进行比较分析,并利用观测资料对模拟试验结果进行评估。结果表明:Noah-MP模式能够较好地模拟出青藏高原冻融过程特征;冻融过程模拟对冻融参数化方案相当敏感,冻结阶段到融化阶段期间,4组试验模拟值差异显著,融化阶段之后到冻结阶段之前,4组试验模拟值相当一致;相对于过冷水参数化方案,冻土渗透率参数化方案对冻融过程期间土壤温度的模拟更为敏感,过冷水参数化方案不同会导致冻融过程期间土壤液态水含量模拟值差异显著。地表能量通量模拟对冻融参数化方案相当敏感,4组试验地表能量通量模拟值在冻结阶段、冻结稳定阶段、融化阶段均存在显著差异。     

陆面模式中土壤湿度影响蒸散参数化方案的评估

本文将四个常见陆面模式CLM3.5（Community Land Model Version 3.5）、Noah_LSM（The Noah Land Surface Model）、VIC（Variable Infiltration Capacity）以及SSiB（The Simplified Simple Biosphere Model）中土壤湿度影响蒸散的参数化方案进行简化,并利用实验观测资料对不同参数化方案进行评估,探究不同陆面模式对土壤湿度与蒸散关系的模拟差异,从而为提高模式的模拟能力提供依据。结果表明,（1）CLM与SSiB中计算土壤湿度影响裸土蒸发的参数化方案较Noah_LSM和VIC更接近真实的物理过程,同时CLM与SSiB模式中土壤湿度对蒸发的影响程度较Noah_LSM和VIC大;而对于下垫面有植被条件下的蒸散而言,CLM中包含了植被光合作用、呼吸作用等生物物理学过程,与实际情况更为接近,并且CLM与SSiB中土壤湿度对植被蒸散的影响程度大于VIC,Noah_LSM最低;（2）根据干旱区、半干旱区、半湿润区以及湿润区各站点的分析可知,CLM、SSiB与Noah_LSM中土壤湿度影响蒸散的参数化方案的拟合效果较VIC好,同时在部分站点CLM与SSiB的参数化方案稍优于Noah_LSM。区域之间比较说明,四个模式对干旱半干旱区的模拟效果明显较半湿润区和湿润区好。     

典型干旱区陆面模式模拟检验

利用2000年9月至2001年8月"我国西北干旱区陆-气相互作用试验(NWC-ALIEX)"敦煌站的陆面过程观测资料,基于已有的参数化结果,模拟了敦煌主要陆面特征。结果表明:典型干旱区敦煌夏季感热通量与潜热通量差异显著,感热几乎是潜热的4倍,冬季二者都很小。模式对地表温度模拟较好,但高估了浅层土壤湿度峰值;对向上辐射模拟较好,但对净辐射的模拟存在较大偏差;同时高估了地表能量的峰值。模式结果表明参数化方案对干旱区陆面过程模式具有一定的改进作用。     

根系吸水过程参数化方案对青藏高原陆面过程模拟的影响研究

根系吸水过程对地表能量平衡和水循环起着重要作用，目前不同的根系吸水过程参数化方案对青藏高原陆面过程模拟的影响尚不明确，探讨相关参数化方案的影响，可以为今后建立陆面过程模式根系参数化方案提供参考。本文利用2010年6月1日至9月30日青藏高原玛曲站的观测资料作为大气强迫资料，驱动BCC_AVIM模式（北京气候中心陆面模式）引入不同的根系吸水过程参数化方案，对玛曲站2010年6月1日至9月30日时段感热通量、潜热通量、土壤温度、土壤含水量等要素进行数值模拟，分析根系吸水过程参数化方案对青藏高原地区陆面过程的影响。模式中有关根系吸水过程的参数化方案主要分为根分布模型和土壤水分对根系有效性函数两类，根分布模型用Jackson方案、Schenk方案替换，土壤水分对根系有效性函数用Li方案、LSM1.0方案、CLM4.5方案替换。对比结果表明:不同的根系吸水过程参数化方案对土壤温度、土壤含水量的模拟影响较小，对感热通量、潜热通量模拟影响较大，尤其对冠层蒸腾量模拟差异显著，相关参数化方案的变动直接影响冠层蒸腾量。两类方案模拟的差异受降水的影响，在多雨期，根分布对比方案与原模式方案模拟的感热、潜热通量间存在较大差异；在少雨期，土壤水分对根系有效性函数对比方案与原模式方案模拟的感热、潜热通量间存在较大差异。     

Evaluation of the WRF Model with Different Land Surface Schemes： A Drought Event Simulation in Southwest China during 2009–10

The authors examined the performance of version 3.4.1 of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model（WRF） with various land surface schemes in simulating a severe drought event in Southwest China. Five numerical experiments were completed using the Noah land surface scheme, the Pleim-Xiu land surface scheme, the Noah-MP land surface schemes, the Noah- MP scheme with dynamic vegetation, and the Noah-MP scheme with dynamic vegetation and groundwater processes. In general, all the simulations reasonably reproduced the spatial and temporal variations in precipitation, but significant bias was also found, especially for the spatial pattern of simulated precipitation. The WRF simulations with the Noah-MP series land surface schemes performed slightly better than the WRF simulation with the Noah and Pleim-Xiu land surface schemes in reproducing the severe drought events in Southwest China. The leaf area index（LAI） simulated by the different land surface schemes showed significant deviations in Southwest China. The Pleim-Xiu scheme overestimated the value of LAI by a factor of two. The Noah-MP scheme with dynamical vegetation overestimated the magnitude of the annual cycle of the LAI, although the annual mean LAI was close to observations. The simulated LAI showed a long-term lower value from autumn 2009 to spring 2010 relative to normal years. This indicates that the LAI is a potential indictor to monitor drought events.     

Customization of regional climate model (RegCM4) over Indian region

The regional climate model (RegCM4) is customized for 10-year climate simulation over Indian region through sensitivity studies on cumulus convection and land surface parameterization schemes. The model is configured over 30° E–120° E and 15° S–45° N at 30-km horizontal resolution with 23 vertical levels. Six 10-year (1991–2000) simulations are conducted with the combinations of two land surface schemes (BATS, CLM3.5) and three cumulus convection schemes (Kuo, Grell, MIT). The simulated annual and seasonal climatology of surface temperature and precipitation are compared with CRU observations. The interannual variability of these two parameters is also analyzed. The results indicate that the model simulated climatology is sensitive to the convection as well as land surface parameterization. The analysis of surface temperature (precipitation) climatology indicates that the model with CLM produces warmer (dryer) climatology, particularly over India. The warmer (dryer) climatology is due to the higher sensible heat flux (lower evapotranspiration) in CLM. The model with MIT convection scheme simulated wetter and warmer climatology (higher precipitation and temperature) with smaller Bowen ratio over southern India compared to that with the Grell and Kuo schemes. This indicates that a land surface scheme produces warmer but drier climatology with sensible heating contributing to warming where as a convection scheme warmer but wetter climatology with latent heat contributing to warming. The climatology of surface temperature over India is better simulated by the model with BATS land surface model in combination with MIT convection scheme while the precipitation climatology is better simulated with BATS land surface model in combination with Grell convection scheme. Overall, the modeling system with the combination of Grell convection and BATS land surface scheme provides better climate simulation over the Indian region.     

COSMO-CLM2: a new version of the COSMO-CLM model coupled to the Community Land Model

This study presents an evaluation of a new biosphere-atmosphere Regional Climate Model. COSMO-CLM² results from the coupling between the non-hydrostatic atmospheric model COSMO-CLM version 4.0 and the Community Land Model version 3.5 (CLM3.5). In this coupling, CLM3.5 replaces a simpler land surface parameterization (TERRA_ML) used in the standard COSMO-CLM. Compared to TERRA_ML, CLM3.5 comprises a more complete representation of land surface processes including hydrology, biogeophysics, biogeochemistry and vegetation dynamics. Historical climate simulations over Europe with COSMO-CLM and with the new COSMO-CLM² are evaluated against various data products. The simulated climate is found to be substantially affected by the coupling with CLM3.5, particularly in summer. Radiation fluxes as well as turbulent fluxes at the surface are found to be more realistically represented in COSMO-CLM². This subsequently leads to improvements of several aspects of the simulated climate (cloud cover, surface temperature and precipitation). We show that a better partitioning of turbulent fluxes is the central factor allowing for the better performances of COSMO-CLM² over COSMO-CLM. Despite these improvements, some model deficiencies still remain, most notably a substantial underestimation of surface net shortwave radiation. Overall, these results highlight the importance of land surface processes in shaping the European climate and the benefit of using an advanced land surface model for regional climate simulations.     

The coupling of the Common Land Model (CLM0) to a regional climate model (RegCM)

Summary We replace the existing land surface parameterization scheme, the Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS), in a regional climate model (RegCM) with the newly developed Common Land Model (CLM0). The main improvements of CLM0 include a detailed 10-layer soil model, the distinction between soil ice and water phases, a linked photosynthesis-stomatal conductance model, a multilayer snow model, and an improved runoff parameterization. We compare the performance of CLM0 and BATS as coupled to the RegCM in a one year simulation over East Asia. We find that the RegCM/CLM0 improves the winter cold bias present in the RegCM/BATS simulation. With respect to the surface energy balance, lower CLM0 albedos allow the absorption of more solar radiation at the surface. CLM0 tends to simulate higher sensible heat and lower latent heat fluxes than its BATS counterpart. The surface water balance also changes considerably between the two land surface schemes. Compared to BATS, CLM0 precipitation is reduced overall and surface runoff is increased, thereby allowing less water to enter the soil column. Evapotranspiration is lower in CLM0 due to lower ground evaporation, which leads to a wetter surface soil in CLM0 in spite of less precipitation input. However, transpiration is greater in CLM0 than BATS, which has an overall effect of less surface storage during the summertime. Comparison with station observations indicates that CLM0 tends to improve the simulation of root zone soil water content compared to BATS. Another pronounced difference between the two schemes is that CLM0 produces lower snow amounts than BATS because of different snow models and warmer CLM0 temperatures. In this case, BATS snow cover amounts are more in line with observations. Overall, except for the snow amounts, CLM0 appears to improve the RegCM simulation of the surface energy and water budgets compared to BATS.     

陆面过程模式CLM4.5在半干旱区退化草原站的模拟性能评估

利用国际协同强化观测期(CEOP)在中国半干旱区退化草地站——通榆站的观测资料,对一个较为完善的陆面过程模式NCAR_CLM4.5(Community Land Model 4.5)的模拟性能进行检验。模拟结果与观测资料的对比表明,CLM4.5能很好地模拟出观测站点的辐射通量、水热交换、土壤温湿的空间分布和时间变化特征。但地表吸收的辐射模拟值略低,土壤湿度偏低,地表吸收的辐射及土壤温度等日变化略大;大气强迫变量处于某些特定的形势下时,模拟存在较大误差,如8月底的模拟。此外,冬季辐射通量、水热交换以及土壤温湿的模拟均存在较大误差,说明CLM4.5模式在冬季地表物理过程的参数化方案上需要进一步改进。     

Modelling of the OASIS Energy Flux Measurements Using Two Canopy Concepts

Two land surface schemes, SCAM and CSIRO9, were used to model the measured energy fluxes during the OASIS (Observations At Several Interacting Scales) field program. The measurements were taken at six sites along a 100 km rainfall gradient. Two types of simulations were conducted: (1) offline simulations forced with measured atmospheric input data at each of the six sites, and (2) regional simulations with the two land surface schemes coupled to the regional climate model DARLAM.The two land surface schemes employ two different canopy modelling concepts: in SCAM the vegetation is conceptually above the ground surface, while CSIRO9 employs the more commonly used `horizontally tiled' approach in which the vegetation cover is modelled by conceptually placing it beside bare ground. Both schemes utilize the same below-ground components (soil hydrological and thermal models) to reduce the comparison to canopy processes only. However, the ground heat flux, soil evaporation and evapotranspiration are parameterised by the two canopy treatments somewhat differently.Both canopy concepts reproduce the measured energy fluxes. SCAM has a slightly higher root-mean standard error in the model-measurement comparison for the ground heat flux. The mean surface radiative temperature simulated by SCAM is approximately 1K lower than in the CSIRO9 simulations. However, the soil and vegetation temperatures (which contribute to the radiative temperature) varied more in the CSIRO9 simulations. These larger variations are due to the absence of a representation of the aerodynamic interactions between vegetation and ground.
