Stochastic modelling of unresolved eddy fluxes

A subgrid-scale parameterization scheme motivated by statistical closure theory, but employing statistics obtained from high-resolution direct numerical simulations, is applied to large eddy simulations of two-level quasigeostrophic turbulence on the sphere. It is shown that these parameterizations are consistent with the phenomenology of quasigeostrophic turbulence. The parameterizations consist of 2 × 2 dissipation and stochastic forcing covariance matrices at each wavenumber, with the off-diagonal elements of the matrices representing vertical mixing. Two flow regimes, characterized by their deformation scales, are considered, namely atmospheric and oceanic. In the former, the deformation scale is fully resolved, and the truncation scale is within the enstrophy cascading interial range. In the latter, the deformation scale is not fully resolved, and the truncation scale is within the energy cascading inertial range. It is demonstrated through numerical experiments that both stochastic and deterministic variants of the scheme give comparable results for the energy spectra in the atmospheric regime. In the oceanic regime, the stochastic variant again gives excellent results, but the deterministic variant is found to be numerically unstable.     

大气下行长波辐射参数化模型的比较

利用甘肃黑河流域不同下垫面的近地面气象和辐射观测数据,对已有的12个晴天大气下行长波辐射参数化模型和8个云天模型进行比较.指出晴天情况下Idso模型和Dilley & Obrien模型最适用,但后者一定要进行系数校正,云天情况下Maykut模型误差最小.经过平均日变化分析表明,晴天模型能较好地抓住大气下行长波辐射的日变...     

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。
