NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE EVOLUTION OF SNOW COVERAND ITS SENSITIVITY EXPERIMENTS

By using Comprehensive Land Surface Model (CLSM), three snow cases, i.e., France Col de Porte 1993/1994, 1994/1995 and BOREAS SSA-OJP 1994/1995, are simulated. The simulated results were compared with the observations to examine the capability of the model to describe the evolutions of snow cover under two different land cover conditions. Several sensitivity experiments were performed to investigate the effects of some snow cover internal processes parameterizations and vegetation on the model results. Results suggest that CLSM simulates the basic processes of snow cover accurately and discribes the features of the snow cover evolutions reasonably, indicating that the model has the potential to model the processes related to snow cover evolution. It was also found that the different parameterization schemes of the snowfall density and snow water holding capacity have significant effects on the simulation of snow cover. The estimation of snowfall density mainly impacts the simulocted snow depth, and the underestimation (overestimation) of snowfall density increases (decreases) snow depth simulated significantly with little effect on the simulated snow water equivalent (SWE). The parameterization of snow water holding capacity played crucial roles on the evolutionp of the snow cover, especially on the ablation of snow cover. A larger snow water holding capacity usually led to large snow density and heat capacity by storing more liquid water in the snow layer, and made the temperature of the snow cover and snow ablation varies more slowly. To a smaller snow water holding capacity, contrary was the case. The results also shows that the physical processes related to the snow cover variation were different whether vegetation exits or not. Vegetation played an important role in the evolution of soil-snow system by changing the energy balance at the snow-soil surface. The existence of vegetation is favorable to the maintance of the snow cover and delays increase underlying soil temperature.
