欧亚大陆土壤焓异常持续性的时空变化特征

土壤焓作为一种综合考虑地表状况(如土壤湿度、土壤温度等)的特殊陆面因子,可以直接从能量角度反映陆地下垫面的热力状况,故探讨土壤焓异常持续性的相关特征,有助于加深理解地表热力异常对气候的影响。本研究基于陆面过程模式CLM4.0模拟的土壤温度、土壤液态水和土壤固态水及土壤物质类型(IGBP地表属性),分别计算了欧亚大陆冬季和夏季土壤干物质焓、土壤液态水焓和土壤固态水焓及土壤焓(前三者之和);由于土壤温度和土壤固、液态水含量的差异,浅层土壤焓及其三个组元表现出明显的区域性和季节性特征;欧亚大陆冬季土壤焓异常持续性总体较夏季强,尤其是中高纬地区;另外,土壤干物质焓、液态水焓的纬度和季节性差异也体现在对近地面大气的热力强迫上,具体表现为土壤干物质焓、液态水焓分别与感热、潜热密切相关。本研究通过较为细致地分析土壤焓异常持续性的时空变化特征,为进一步开展下垫面热力异常(以土壤焓表征)的气候效应提供了重要的信息参考。

Modeling diurnal to seasonal water and heat exchanges at European Fluxnet sites

Summary The importance of linking measurements, modeling and remote sensing of land surface processes has been increasingly recognized in the past years since on the diurnal to seasonal time scale land surface–atmosphere feedbacks can play a substantial role in determining the state of the near-surface climate. The worldwide Fluxnet project provides long term measurements of land surface variables useful for process-based modeling studies over a wide range of climatic environments.In this study data from six European Fluxnet sites distributed over three latitudinal zones are used to force three generations of LSMs (land surface models): the BUCKET, BATS 1E and SiB 2.5. Processes simulating the exchange of heat and water used in these models range from simple bare soil parameterizations to complex formulations of plant biochemistry and soil physics.Results show that – dependent on the climatic environment – soil storage and plant biophysical processes can determine the yearly course of the land surface heat and water budgets, which need to be included in the modeling system. The Mediterranean sites require a long term soil water storage capability and a biophysical control of evapotranspiration. In northern Europe the seasonal soil temperature evolution can influence the winter energy partitioning and requires a long term soil heat storage scheme. Plant biochemistry and vegetation phenology can drive evapotranspiration where no atmospheric-related limiting environmental conditions are active.     

The Impact of Vegetation Cover on Sahelian Drought Persistence

The sensitivity of the potential for convective precipitation to land surface characteristics in the West African Sudano-Sahelian zone is studied. Simulations are performed with a one-dimensional version of a mesoscale atmospheric model coupled to a detailed land surface model to investigate the influence of the land surface on rain infiltration, surface evapotranspiration, and their impact on the convective available potential energy. The simulations show that the presence of a densely vegetated surface acts as a catalyst in the hydrological cycle, creating a positive feedback and enhancing precipitation recycling. It is argued that this is due to the relation between the characteristic drying-out time of the soil and the return frequency of the rain-triggering African easterly waves.     

Impact of carbonaceous aerosol emissions on regional climate change

The past and future evolution of atmospheric composition and climate has been simulated with a version of the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM). The system consists of the atmosphere, including a detailed representation of tropospheric aerosols, the land surface, and the ocean, including a model of the marine biogeochemistry which interacts with the atmosphere via the dust and sulfur cycles. In addition to the prescribed concentrations of carbon dioxide, ozone and other greenhouse gases, the model is driven by natural forcings (solar irradiance and volcanic aerosol), and by emissions of mineral dust, sea salt, sulfur, black carbon (BC) and particulate organic matter (POM). Transient climate simulations were performed for the twentieth century and extended into the twenty-first century, according to SRES scenario A1B, with two different assumptions on future emissions of carbonaceous aerosols (BC, POM). In the first experiment, BC and POM emissions decrease over Europe and China but increase at lower latitudes (central and South America, Africa, Middle East, India, Southeast Asia). In the second experiment, the BC and POM emissions are frozen at their levels of year 2000. According to these experiments the impact of projected changes in carbonaceaous aerosols on the global mean temperature is negligible, but significant changes are found at low latitudes. This includes a cooling of the surface, enhanced precipitation and runoff, and a wetter surface. These regional changes in surface climate are caused primarily by the atmospheric absorption of sunlight by increasing BC levels and, subsequently, by thermally driven circulations which favour the transport of moisture from the adjacent oceans. The vertical redistribution of solar energy is particularly large during the dry season in central Africa when the anomalous atmospheric heating of up to 60 W m⁻² and a corresponding decrease in surface solar radiation leads to a marked surface cooling, reduced evaporation and a higher level of soil moisture, which persists throughout the year and contributes to the enhancement of precipitation during the wet season.     

2001～2010年中国区域土地利用/覆盖变化对陆面过程影响的模拟研究

基于2001年和2010年中分辨率成像光谱仪MODIS（MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer）土地覆盖数据,利用公共陆面模式（Community Land Model, CLM）模拟真实的土地利用/覆盖变化（Land Use/Cover Change, LUCC）对地表能量平衡和水分循环过程的影响。研究表明:1）在2001～2010年,中国LUCC最明显的区域位于干旱半干旱区过渡带、半干旱半湿润区过渡带和南方地区;中国区域荒漠减少0.92%,草地减少0.01%,农田增加0.77%,森林增加2.86%,植被覆盖度整体增加。2）在2001年和2010年两种土地利用/覆盖背景下,LUCC使大部分地区感热通量增加,植被蒸腾、蒸发潜热通量增加,土壤表面蒸发潜热通量减小。3）LUCC使大部分地区地表径流减小;中国西北东部、华北和东北地区土壤湿度减小,其他地区土壤湿度增加,仅干旱半干旱过渡带上的土壤湿度发生了显著变化。4）当典型过渡带区域由荒漠变为草地后,感热通量增加1.11 W m?2,潜热通量增加0.14 W m?2;冠层蒸腾和蒸发分别增加0.039 mm d?1、0.009 mm d?1。土壤湿度平均减小0.01 m3 m?3,且随深度增加变干更明显,这是由于根系吸收了较多深层土壤水分,以满足植被显著增加的蒸腾而产生的结果。当草地变为灌木时,其能量通量和水分循环的变化与上述结果类似。

Land–sea contrast,soil-atmosphere and cloud-temperature interactions: interplays and roles in future summer European climate change

Europe and in particular its southern part are expected to undergo serious climate changes during summer in response to anthropogenic forcing, with large surface warming and decrease in precipitation. Yet, serious uncertainties remain, especially over central and western Europe. Several mechanisms have been suggested to be important in that context but their relative importance and possible interplays are still not well understood. In this paper, the role of soil-atmosphere interactions, cloud-temperature interactions and land–sea warming contrast in summer European climate change and how they interact are analyzed. Models for which evapotranspiration is strongly limited by soil moisture in the present climate are found to tend to simulate larger future decrease in evapotranspiration. Models characterized by stronger present-day anti-correlation between cloud cover and temperature over land tend to simulate larger future decrease in cloud cover. Large model-to-model differences regarding land–sea warming contrast and its impacts are also found. Warming over land is expected to be larger than warming over sea, leading to a decrease in continental relative humidity and precipitation because of the discrepancy between the change in atmospheric moisture capacity over land and the change in specific humidity. Yet, it is not true for all the models over our domain of interest. Models in which evapotranspiration is not limited by soil moisture and with a weak present-day anti-correlation between cloud cover and temperature tend to simulate smaller land surface warming. In these models, change in specific humidity over land is therefore able to match the continental increase in moisture capacity, which leads to virtually no change in continental relative humidity and smaller precipitation change. Because of the physical links that exist between the response to anthropogenic forcing of important impact-related climate variables and the way some mechanisms are simulated in the context of present-day variability, this study suggests some potentially useful metrics to reduce summer European climate change uncertainties.     

2008年7—9月中国北方不同下垫面晴空陆面过程特征差异

采用2008年7—9月观测的中国干旱/半干旱区实验观测协同与集成研究资料,选取了9个下垫面(包括裸地、草地、森林和农田),分析了中国北方不同下垫面以及不同地区同类下垫面的晴空陆面辐射平衡和热量平衡日变化特征差异。结果表明,不同下垫面以及不同地区同类下垫面的地表辐射和能量过程特征差异明显,而这种差异主要源于下垫面的光学特性、水热特性以及局地陆-气系统中可利用水分的不同。在辐射平衡的比较方面,荒漠沙地发射的长波辐射最大,高寒森林的长波辐射最低,农田下垫面发射的长波辐射总体低于草地;荒漠沙地、草地、农田和高寒森林的反射率依次减弱;荒漠沙地、草地、农田、森林下垫面的净辐射依次增大。在能量平衡方面,荒漠区沙地可利用能量大部分(约80%)用于加热大气,约20%消耗于蒸发和加热土壤;草地下垫面可利用能量中用于加热大气的能量比蒸发水分消耗的能量高,但高寒草甸例外;农田下垫面可利用能量的大部分消耗于蒸发,消耗于加热大气的能量不到20%。水含量越高,潜热通量越大,能量闭合率越低,能量过程也更复杂。     

黄土高原塬区地表辐射和热量平衡观测与分析

利用2005年夏季黄土高原塬区陆面过程野外试验(LOPEX05)的观测资料,初步分析了甘肃平凉黄土高原塬区地表辐射收支和热量平衡特征。结果显示,黄土高原塬区地面长波辐射大于大气长波辐射,典型晴天、阴天和雨天情况下两者平均差值分别为65,25和8 W.m-2;对于地气能量交换各个分量而言,黄土高原塬上和塬下在相同下垫面下的差别不大,但裸地和有植被的下垫面差别很明显;在白天,潜热在净辐射中所占的比重较大,其次是感热,最后是土壤热通量。对能量平衡中的储存项如热通量板上层土壤的热存储和植被冠层存储进行了估算,结果表明,土壤的热储存项在-30~70W.m-2之间,而植被的热能储存项在-10~25 W.m-2之间。在考虑估算的存储项之后,能量平衡散布图斜率由0.68提高到0.79,相关系数R由0.90提高到0.93,两者分别提高了11.0%和3.0%,并对能量不平衡有明显的改进,说明能量储存项在地表能量闭合中必须考虑。     

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.

Evaluation of water and energy budgets in regional climate models applied over Europe

This study presents a model intercomparison of four regional climate models (RCMs) and one variable resolution atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) applied over Europe with special focus on the hydrological cycle and the surface energy budget. The models simulated the 15 years from 1979 to 1993 by using quasi-observed boundary conditions derived from ECMWF re-analyses (ERA). The model intercomparison focuses on two large atchments representing two different climate conditions covering two areas of major research interest within Europe. The first is the Danube catchment which represents a continental climate dominated by advection from the surrounding land areas. It is used to analyse the common model error of a too dry and too warm simulation of the summertime climate of southeastern Europe. This summer warming and drying problem is seen in many RCMs, and to a less extent in GCMs. The second area is the Baltic Sea catchment which represents maritime climate dominated by advection from the ocean and from the Baltic Sea. This catchment is a research area of many studies within Europe and also covered by the BALTEX program. The observed data used are monthly mean surface air temperature, precipitation and river discharge. For all models, these are used to estimate mean monthly biases of all components of the hydrological cycle over land. In addition, the mean monthly deviations of the surface energy fluxes from ERA data are computed. Atmospheric moisture fluxes from ERA are compared with those of one model to provide an independent estimate of the convergence bias derived from the observed data. These help to add weight to some of the inferred estimates and explain some of the discrepancies between them. An evaluation of these biases and deviations suggests possible sources of error in each of the models. For the Danube catchment, systematic errors in the dynamics cause the prominent summer drying problem for three of the RCMs, while for the fourth RCM this is related to deficiencies in the land surface parametrization. The AGCM does not show this drying problem. For the Baltic Sea catchment, all models similarily overestimate the precipitation throughout the year except during the summer. This model deficit is probably caused by the internal model parametrizations, such as the large-scale condensation and the convection schemes.     

Thermal features of the Mackenzie basin from NOAA AVHRR observations for summer 1994

Abstract

A series of mid‐afternoon Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) thermal radiance scenes were assembled in order to develop a better understanding of the complex energy and water processes leading to variations in surface temperature. An in‐depth knowledge of the temperature variability is of interest to land surface process modelling and its application to the Mackenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study (MAGS).

Clear‐sky land surface temperatures are estimated by applying a split window technique to remove atmospheric effects. A maximum land surface temperature map of the Mackenzie basin at 1‐km scale for summer 1994 is produced. The patterns are related to land surface features and elevation. The basin's maximum land surface temperature patterns can be subdivided into three land zones (≥ 35°C, 33–34°C and 27–32°C) and a water dominated zone (20.5°C on average). The highest maximum temperature zone (≥35°C) corresponds to a combination of minimal vegetation, drier soils and low terrain. This zone is not in the southern part of the basin as might be speculated in the absence of these data, but in a wide low elevation corridor from west of Great Bear Lake along the Mackenzie River down to 50°N, 120°W. The maximum land surface temperatures tend to decrease with increasing vegetation density and surface moisture; they also decrease with elevation at a rate of –4.5°C km^–1. This is confirmed by weather station data. The AVHRR data extend this relationship to the 1200 – 2200 m altitude ranges, where there are no station data. The data suggest that elevation and land cover should be taken into account in the objective analysis (spatial interpolation) of station data.

Impact of soil map specifications for European climate simulations

Soil physical characteristics can influence terrestrial hydrology and the energy balance and may thus affect land–atmosphere exchanges. However, only few studies have investigated the importance of soil textures for climate. In this study, we examine the impact of soil texture specification in a regional climate model. We perform climate simulations over Europe using soil maps derived from two different sources: the soil map of the world from the Food and Agricultural Organization and the European Soil Database from the European Commission Joint Research Center. These simulations highlight the importance of the specified soil texture in summer, with differences of up to 2 °C in mean 2-m temperature and 20 % in precipitation resulting from changes in the partitioning of energy at the land surface into sensible and latent heat flux. Furthermore, we perform additional simulations where individual soil parameters are perturbed in order to understand their role for summer climate. These simulations highlight the importance of the vertical profile of soil moisture for evapotranspiration. Parameters affecting the latter are hydraulic diffusivity parameters, field capacity and plant wilting point. Our study highlights the importance of soil properties for climate simulations. Given the uncertainty associated with the geographical distribution of soil texture and the resulting differences between maps from different sources, efforts to improve existing databases are needed. In addition, climate models would benefit from tackling unresolved issues in land-surface modeling related to the high spatial variability in soil parameters, both horizontally and vertically, and to limitations of the concept of soil textural class.     

Local climates simulated by two generations of Canadian GCM land surface schemes

Abstract

The performance of two Canadian land surface schemes of widely differing complexity is compared and contrasted in a pair of year‐long simulations using the GCM developed at Atmospheric Environment Service, Canada. The old land surface model incorporates the force‐restore method for soil temperatures and the bucket approximation for soil moisture; the new model, CLASS (Canadian Land Surface Scheme) features three soil layers, an explicitly modelled snow layer, a thermally separate vegetation canopy, and physically‐based calculations of heat and moisture transfers between all of the land surface components and the atmosphere.

It was reported in previous papers that compared with observations, the old scheme tends to generate a climate which is characterized by anomalously high precipitation rates and cold temperatures over land. In this paper, by reference to field measurements and to the energy fluxes and temperatures generated by the two models at local scales, the hypotheses earlier postulated as to the underlying reasons for this are validated. The main factor contributing to the climate anomalies observed with the old scheme is found to be its generation of excessive evaporation rates; this is caused by the fact that the evaporation rate is never directly energy‐limited, the fact that the scaling of the evaporation rale with decreasing soil moisture content underestimates the effect of vegetation stomatal resistance, and the fact that the evaporation rate over bare soil depends not on the surface soil moisture, but on the moisture content of whole modelled soil column. The cold surface temperatures are additionally attributed to systematic errors incurred by the forward‐stepping temperature scheme, and to the fact that soils subjected to subzero temperature forcing in the winter are modelling as freezing completely. Finally, the inability of the old scheme to simulate partially frozen soils means that it proves unable to handle either shallow frost penetration at temperature latitudes, or the development of an active layer in permafrost.
