A note on surface layer parameterizations in the weather research and forecast model     

《Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans》2021

Two surface layer parameterization schemes along with five planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) are analyzed in order to evaluate the performance of the WRF model in simulating the surface variables and turbulent fluxes over an Indian sub-continent region. These surface layer schemes are based on the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University—National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) parameterization; (a) Old MM5 scheme having Businger-Dyer similarity functions and (b) revised MM5 scheme utilizing the functions that are valid for full ranges of atmospheric stabilities. The study suggests that each PBL scheme can reproduce the diurnal variation of 2 m temperature, momentum flux and sensible heat flux irrespective of the surface layer scheme used for the simulations. However, a comparison of model-simulated values of surface variables and turbulent fluxes with observed values suggests that each PBL scheme is found to systematically over-estimate the nocturnal 2 m temperature and 10 m wind speed with both the revised and old schemes during stable conditions.  相似文献

利用WRF模式三种边界层参数化方案(YSU、MYJ、ACM2)产生的气象场分别驱动多尺度空气质量模式CMAQ,对兰州市西固区冬季2005年1月27日至2月2日期间SO₂和NO₂浓度进行了数值模拟,将模拟结果与同期监测的污染物浓度进行对比分析,结果表明:WRF模式不同边界层参数化方案模拟输出的气象场驱动CMAQ模式所模拟的SO₂和NO₂浓度均可以反映出污染物的时空变化特征,CMAQ模式具有模拟复杂下垫面高分辨率污染物输送特征的能力;WRF模式的边界层参数化方案选为局地与非局地闭合方案(ACM2)时,模拟的气象场驱动CMAQ模式得到的空气污染物浓度分布特征最优,这主要是由于ACM2的湍流输送机制较为合理,模拟的边界层低层气象场更接近实际,从而可以较好地模拟污染物的输送特征;当CMAQ模式的垂直混合方案与WRF模式的湍流输送方案一致时(均采用ACM2方案),模式间的兼容性好.  相似文献   

Parameterization of bedform morphology and defect density with fingerprint analysis techniques     

Adam Skarke  Arthur C. Trembanis 《Continental Shelf Research》2011,31(16):1688-1700

A novel method for parameterizing the morphology of seafloor ripples with fingerprint analysis numerical techniques is presented. This fully automated analysis tool identifies rippled areas in two-dimensional imagery of the seafloor, and returns ripple orientation and wavelength as well as a new morphological parameter, the spatial density of ripple defects. In contrast to widely used manual and spectral parameterization methods, this new technique yields a unique probability distribution for each derived parameter, which describes its spatial variability across the sampled domain. Here we apply this new analysis technique to synthetic and field collected side-scan sonar seafloor images in order to assess the methods capacity to define bed geometry across a wide range of simulated and observed morphological conditions. The resulting orientation and wavelength values compare favorably with those of the existing manual and spectral parameterization methods, and are superior under environmental conditions characterized by low signal to noise ratios as well as high planform ripple sinuosity. Furthermore, the resulting ripple defect density values demonstrate correlation with ripple orientation, wave direction, and the Shields parameter, which is consistent with recent investigations that have theoretically linked this parameter to hydrodynamic forcing conditions. The presented fingerprint analysis method surpasses the capacity of existing methods for ripple parameterization and promises to yield greater insight into theoretical and applied problems associated with the temporal and spatial variability of ripple morphology across a wide spectrum of marine environments.  相似文献

The equilibrium profile of suspended sediment concentration （SSC） in steady, uniform turbulent flow has been extensively studied since the proposition of Rouse equation （Rouse, 1937）. Many researchers keep studying and attempting to improve the Rouse equation by modifying the mixing length concept. Bose and Dey （2009） improved Rouse equation based on the modified sediment diffusivity, however, their proposed sediment diffusivity has two parameters, the depth modification factor α and the reciprocal of the sediment Schmidt number β = 1/S, and the corresponding expressions were not given properly in their paper. This paper aims to parameterize the relevant coefficients, the results shows： （1） α is parameterized from a reasonable approximation by the analysis of surface boundary condition of SSC; （2） considering some effect factors on the settling velocity, β can be expressed by an extended and modified Montes-Ippen formula, and its related parameters are calibrated by substantial data about the relationship between the primary Rouse parameter Z. = ω/ku and its counterpart Z＇ = ω/βku.. Through verification with some experimental and field datasets, and comparison with related formula, the results show that the sediment diffusivity and SSC profiles have a good agreement with measured data used the present parameterized expressions of a and,8, so the present improved Rouse equation is reasonable, and can be applied in practical applications. Finally, an approximation and simplified expression of the improved Rouse equation is deduced by using the approach of perturbation, which can be applied easily for the estimation of suspended sediment transport rate.  相似文献   

Sensitivity of simulated wintertime Arctic atmosphere to vertical resolution in the ARPEGE/IFS model     

Øyvind Byrkjedal  Igor Esau  Nils Gunnar Kvamstø 《Climate Dynamics》2008,30(7-8):687-701

The current state-of-the-art general circulation models, including several of those used by the IPCC, show considerable biases in the simulated present day high-latitude climate compared to observations and reanalysis data. These biases are most pronounced during the winter season. We here employ ideal vertical profiles of temperature and wind from turbulence-resolving simulations to perform a priori studies of the first-order eddy-viscosity closure scheme employed in the ARPEGE/IFS model. This reveals that the coarse vertical resolution (31 layers) of the model cannot be expected to realistically resolve the Arctic stable boundary layer. The curvature of the Arctic inversion and thus also the vertical turbulent-exchange processes cannot be reproduced by the coarse vertical mesh employed. To investigate how turbulent vertical exchange processes in the Arctic boundary layer are represented by the model parameterization, a simulation with high vertical resolution (90 layers in total) in the lower troposphere is performed. Results from the model simulations are validated against data from the ERA-40 reanalysis. The dependence of the surface air temperature on surface winds, surface energy fluxes, free atmosphere stability and boundary layer height is investigated. The coarse-resolution run reveals considerable biases in these parameters, and in their physical relations to surface air temperature. In the simulation with fine vertical resolution, these biases are clearly reduced. The physical relation between governing parameters for the vertical turbulent-exchange processes improves in comparison with ERA-40 data.  相似文献
