陆面过程模型研究进展简介

在陆面与大气界面上不断进行着辐射、热量、水分和动量的交换,用于气候模拟或数值天气预报的大气环流模式需要陆面模式计算这些通量(陆面参数化).40年来,陆面模式经历了从简单和不真实的第一代陆面模式发展到更可信的第二和第三代陆面模式.第二代陆面模式包含了生物物理过程而第三代陆面模式包含了生化过程.近10年来,一些陆面模式耦合了动态植被模型和能考虑土壤水分空间非均匀性的水文模型.这些陆面模式与气候和海洋环流模型耦合能够模拟陆地生态系统对全球变化的响应.

从陆面水文过程的物理机制出发，引进概率统计分布理论，推导出一种由非均匀土壤含水量及降水气候强迫所形成的次网格尺度非均匀径流率的解析表达式，从而将通常的次网格尺度地表径流的参数化方案（mosaic方法）改进为考虑网格区整体非均匀性的统计-动力参数化方案。文中用仿真模拟资料验证了该方案的可靠性与可行性，并作数值试验。结果表明，该方案切实可行。     

WRF模式夏季气温和降水模拟对陆面方案敏感性的评估

利用NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料,采用WRF V3模式和不同的陆面参数化方案(SLAB、NOAH、RUC、PLEX)对中国2003年夏季气温和降水进行数值模拟试验,评估其对陆面方案的敏感性,并着重分析在干旱、半干旱的西北地区以及湿润的华东地区不同陆面方案对气温和降水模拟的影响。结果表明:1)模式整体上能较好地模拟出总区域的气温场和降水场,但不同陆面方案间模拟结果存在一些差异,其中NOAH(SLAB)方案模拟结果最好(最差)。2)对子区域而言,模拟气温和降水对陆面方案均较为敏感。受气候特征的影响,华东地区气温和降水模拟对陆面方案的敏感性存在较大的差异,其中降水模拟的敏感性很高。此外,模拟的气温和降水空间分布形势在西北地区均较好,但其对陆面方案的敏感性在华东地区较高。3)模拟降水对陆面方案的敏感性要高于气温模拟。     

可用于陆面过程模型的地形指数水文模型中简化参数化方案的研究

在全球气候系统模型中,陆面水文过程对提高模拟精度有显著作用.土壤水分空间非均匀分布对于蒸发和径流的计算以及能量在潜热和感热之间的分配具有重要的影响,但现有的多数陆面过程模式未能考虑土壤水分水平非均匀性的影响.地形指数模型以其较好的物理基础、参数少、计算量小,且能考虑地形变化对土壤水分非均匀分布影响等优点,使其有潜力模拟陆面过程中水分过程分布非均匀二维特性.目前地形指数水文模型已被推荐应用于陆面过程模式(Land surface models,LSMs)中以改进对陆面水文过程的模拟能力.在地形指数模型中,数据的空间分辨率、河道的起始临界值、非饱和区域的分区和空间各点的坡度等因子不同的确定,都能对模拟结果产生重要影响,对它们如何合理地给定,既不降低模型精度,又能省时、省资源是十分重要的.本研究通过大量的敏感性模拟试验,较系统地探讨上述参数不同的确定方案对流域水量平衡模拟结果的影响.主要结论有:(1)将流域按地形指数值大小分为16块与仅区分饱和区与非饱和区或仅区分饱和区、较湿润区和较干区3块模拟结果相差不大,因此将地形指数模型应用于陆面模式时仅区分饱和区与非饱和区或区分饱和区、较湿润区和较干区3块这种简化方案也许是一种可行的选择;(2)不考虑坡度会扭曲水量平衡各要素的计算,用一个平均坡度替代实际坡度的办法就会有比较接近了实际坡度的结果.因此,LSM模型中一维均匀的网格做法应该改进,但太细致的坡度取法也许没必要.以上结论可为今后发展用于陆面模式的大尺度水文模型提供依据.     

具有Horton及Dunne机制的径流模型在VIC模型中的应用(英)

地表径流主要由蓄满(Dunne)和超渗产流(Horton)机制产生;土壤性质的空间变异性、前期土壤水、地形及降水的空间变异性导致不同的径流机制。在研究区域或模型网格内,蓄满产流及超渗产流可能同时出现,缺乏考虑任何一种机制以及土壤性质的次网格空间变率可能导致地表径流的过高或过低估计,从而影响土壤水的计算。利用Philip入渗公式用于时间压缩逼近(TCA)给出了一种径流参数化方法,该方法可以动态实现模型网格中的Horton及Dunne产流机理,它考虑了土壤空间变异性对Horton和Dunne径流的影响。该径流模型应用到基于水文原理的陆面过程模型VIC,在淮河流域及美国宾西法尼亚州的一个流域进行了测试,结果表明:新的参数化方法对地表径流和土壤水分含量的分配起着重要作用,对于改进径流和土壤水的模拟有重要意义。     

降水气候强迫下非均匀地表区域平均径流的一种参数化方案

将任一中尺度区域的平均瞬间径流率考虑为区域平均降水量和地表土壤层水分渗透垦的余项.根据降水量在地理空间上分布的实测资料拟合其空间概率密度函数(PDF),并结合土壤入渗物理过程的数学描述及其经验公式,精确估计出地表土壤渗透率及其空间分布,由此建立区域地表径流率的统计-动力学估计方案.换言之,区域内地表产流率可视为区域平均降水量与区域平均的土壤下渗量之差值,而区域内土壤的平均下渗量又町分为非饱和区和饱和区两部分的下渗量来分别计算.就陆面水分循环的物理过程而言,地表入渗现象是在一定的下垫面特性基础上,由一定的水分供应源而形成的.根据大气降水向地表层输送水分的物理过程,在满足植被表层覆盖需水(截流水)和地表层土壤人渗水基础上,多余的降水量才会形成地表径流.凶此,推求地表产流率的主要关键在于地表土壤层需水量.为此奉文根据土壤水分通量方程推导出水分入渗公式.又从描述土壤水分和降水的空间PDF出发,推导出非均匀土壤含水量及降水气候强迫所形成的次网格尺度区域平均径流率计算公式.利用长江三角洲地区1996年降水量和土壤特性等实测资料建立区域平均地表径流率的估计公式,并对其影响凶素进行敏感性试验.结果表明,该方法与用Mosaic方法计算的区域径流率(或产流率)结果十分接近.由此可见,该文提出的降水气候强迫下非均匀地表区域平均径流的这种统计-动力参数化方案,具有相当的可靠性与可行性.     

不同陆面模式对我国地表温度模拟的适用性评估

基于CLDAS大气驱动数据驱动CLM3.5陆面模式和3种不同参数化方案下的Noah-MP陆面模式模拟得到的地表温度,利用中国气象局2009-2013年2000多个国家级地面观测站地表温度进行质量评估。结果表明:从时间分布看,模拟地表温度与观测的偏差及均方根误差均呈季节性波动;从空间分布看,模拟地表温度与观测的偏差及均方根误差在中国东部地区相对于中国西部地区更小。选择Noah-MP陆面模式3种不同参数化方案模拟结果进行对比,结果表明:Noah-MP模式的非动态植被方案不变时,考虑植被覆盖度的二流近似辐射传输方案的Noah-MP陆面模式模拟的地表温度优于考虑太阳高度角和植被三维结构的二流近似辐射传输方案Noah-MP陆面模式模拟的地表温度;选择动态植被方案的Noah-MP陆面模式模拟的地表温度优于选择非动态植被方案的Noah-MP陆面模式;总体而言,考虑动态植被方案的Noah-MP陆面模式模拟的地表温度优于其他两种参数化方案的Noah-MP陆面模式以及CLM3.5陆面模式模拟的地表温度。     

Effects of subgrid heterogeneities in soil infiltration capacity and precipitation on regional climate: a sensitivity study

Summary ?One of the most pronounced features of the land surface is its heterogeneity. In order to further understand land-atmosphere interactions and improve climate modeling it is very important to investigate effects of subgrid scale heterogeneities, especially hydrological-process heterogeneities. In this paper, after the construction and sensitivity tests of a hydrological model (VXM), which accounts for precipitation heterogeneity (PH) and infiltration heterogeneity (IH), we incorporated VXM into the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) regional climate model RegCM2 and thus obtained the augmented regional climate model (hereafter, ARCM). By using 3-month (May–July) observational data of 1991 Meiyu season, we conducted numerical experiments with ARCM, analyzed the sensitivities, and found that: (1) The regional climate and surface hydrology are very sensitive to IH as well as PH, i.e., the simulations for the surface fluxes, soil temperature, soil moisture, precipitation and surface runoff can be greatly affected by those heterogeneities. (2) ARCM can effectively improve the simulation of hydrological processes, i.e., it can greatly enhance the surface runoff ratio (i.e., the ratio of surface runoff to precipitation), which is consistent with observations over humid areas in China. (3) It seems that the IH influence on the surface climate is larger than the PH influence. (4) The modeled climate is sensitive to the VXM parameters. For example, it is significantly modified after the surface impermeable fraction has been accounted for, suggesting some features of aridification.

The effects of land-surface heterogeneities on regionalclimate: A sensitivity study

Summary ?In order to further understand the land–atmosphere interactions and increase the predictability of climate models, it is very important to investigate the effects of land-surface heterogeneities. In this paper, we considered roughness-length and stomatal-resistance heterogeneities in the regional climate model RegCM2 (Giorgi et al., 1993) that employs BATS (Dickinson et al., 1993) as the land surface scheme. In representing the subgrid heterogeneities, a computationally efficient method, which is a combination of the mosaic approach and the analytical type of the statistical-dynamical approach, is applied. The method is also characterized by converting the probability distribution of fundamental variables to probability distributions of derived quantities. By using the 3-month observational data of 1991 Meiyu season over China, we conducted coupled-model experiments, and found that: (i) For the whole model domain, the consideration of the two heterogeneities, in which intrapatch variability plays a very important role, greatly affects the simulations for the surface flux, wind, temperature and precipitation fields. (ii) The temperature and heat fluxes are quite sensitive to the heterogeneities, which displays the following rule: for a sub-region, the mean sensible heat flux decreases, the mean latent heat flux increases, and the mean surface temperature decreases with the increase of the heterogeneities. Furthermore, the mean latent heat flux is more sensitive to the heterogeneities than the mean sensible heat flux. (iii) It seems that the influence of stomatal-resistance heterogeneity on the latent heat flux is greater than that of roughness-length heterogeneity. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately represent subgrid land-surface heterogeneities so as to improve regional climate modeling. Received June 19, 2001; Revised January 21, 2002     

GRAPES模式中不同陆面方案对新疆一次强降水事件的模拟

本文采用中尺度数值预报模式GRAPES_Meso V3.3.2.5版本以及NECP的GFS资料,分别选用模式中不同陆面参数化方案(SLAB、LSM、NOAH)对2013年9月14-17日新疆强降水过程进行数值模拟试验,模拟的结果表明：陆面方案对主要雨带的落区和大致走向影响并不大,但对降强度的模拟还是敏感的,耦合陆面方案比不耦合陆面方案的模拟效果更接近实况;不同陆面方案模拟的降水量存在一定差异,它们对降水中心落点、强度以及类型方面各有所长;在各种试验的综合比较中,NOAH方案较其他方案的模拟结果显得更稳定与合理。     

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.     

Introduction of a sub-grid hydrology in the ISBA land surface model

In atmospheric models, the partitioning of precipitation between infiltration and runoff has a major influence on the terrestrial water budget, and thereby on the simulated weather or climate. River routing models are now available to convert the simulated runoff into river discharge, offering a good opportunity to validate land surface models at the regional scale. However, given the low resolution of global atmospheric models, the quality of the hydrological simulations is much dependent on various processes occurring on unresolved spatial scales. This paper focuses on the parameterization of sub-grid hydrological processes within the ISBA land surface model. Five off-line simulations are performed over the French Rhône river basin, including various sets of parameterizations related to the sub-grid variability of topography, precipitation, maximum infiltration capacity and land surface properties. Parallel experiments are conducted at a high (8 km by 8 km) and low (1° by 1°) resolution, in order to test the robustness of the simulated water budget. Additional simulations are performed using the whole package of sub-grid parameterizations plus an exponential profile with depth of saturated hydraulic conductivity, in order to investigate the interaction between the vertical soil physics and the horizontal heterogeneities. All simulations are validated against a dense network of gauging measurements, after the simulated runoff is converted into discharge using the MODCOU river routing model. Generally speaking, the new version of ISBA, with both the sub-grid hydrology and the modified hydraulic conductivity, shows a better simulation of river discharge, as well as a weaker sensitivity to model resolution. The positive impact of each individual sub-grid parameterization on the simulated discharges is more obvious at the low resolution, whereas the high-resolution simulations are more sensitive to the exponential profile with depth of saturated hydraulic conductivity.     

区域气候模式(RegCM2)与水文模式耦合的数值试验

建立不均匀的地表径流算法，修改RegCM2的径流方案，设计了一个适合与气候模式RegCM2耦合、能模拟水文站流量的汇流模式，模拟了1998年6、7、8月降水的空间分布，分析了该径流方案对降水、地表热量通量、地表径流、土壤湿度产生的影响。结果表明：（1）该方案在模拟1998年长江流域降水空间分布上有一定的合理性，在一定程度上改善了降水量的模拟，其影响大致是总降水量的10％；（2）地表径流方案改变了地面向大气输送的热量通量，这种作用随时间发生变化，这种变化与地表水分的再分配有关；（3）本方案计算的土壤渗透率较强，在暴雨初期，产生径流较少，而在暴雨后期土壤湿度增大，产生的地表径流较大，这一点更符合洪水形成的特点；（4）水文一气候耦合模式模拟了两个长江水文站的流量，模拟值基本反映了实测值的变化趋势，也表明耦合模式基本能反映1998年夏季长江流域大暴雨期间的地表水文过程。     

Study on the Effects of Land Surface Heterogeneitiesin Temperature and Moisture on Annual Scale Regional Climate Simulation

The ``combined approach', which is suitable to represent subgrid land surface heterogeneity in both inter-patch and intra-patch variabilities, is employed in the Biosphere/Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) as a land surface component of the regional climate model RegCM3 to consider the heterogeneities in temperature and moisture at the land surface, and then annual-scale simulations for 5 years (1988--1992) were conducted. Results showed that on the annual scale, the models response to the heterogeneities is quite sensitive, and that the effect of the temperature heterogeneity (TH) is more pronounced than the moisture heterogeneity (MH). On the intraannual scale, TH may lead to more (less) precipitation in warm (cold) seasons, and hence lead to larger intraannual variability in precipitation; the major MH effects may be lagged by about 1 month during the warm, rainy seasons, inducing ～6% more precipitation for some sub-regions. Additionally, the modeled climate for the northern sub-regions shows larger sensitivities to the land surface heterogeneities than those for the southern sub-regions. Since state-of-art land surface models seldom account for surface intra-patch variabilities, this study emphasizes the importance of including this kind of variability in the land surface models.
