| Abstract: | The distributed water-heat coupled (DWHC) model is calibrated, with the help of the Mesoscale model version 5 (MM5), by calculating
the daily precipitation, the daily average air temperature at the 2.0 m heights and the daily potential evaporation in Heihe
mountainous watershed area and its vicinity (96.786°∼102.284°E, 37.328°∼40.601°N, 17 × 104 km2), from February 11 to June 30, 2003. The MM5 model periodically ran every 10 days in 3 km × 3 km grid resolution with an
integral time step of 3 s. In the MM5 model, many scheme or options are consulted or adopted, such as the Grell scheme cumulus
parameterization method, the Dudhia option, the cloud-radiation scheme, MRF PBL option and the modified Oregon State University
Land-surface model (OSULSM). According to the projection transform methods, the MM5 outputs are interpolated to the 1 km × 1 km
grid in Alberts projection by using triangle-based cubic interpolation (Cubic) and nearest neighbor interpolation (Nearest)
methods, with which the DWHC model shares the same method. The result shows that, when the Nearest method is used, the Nash-Sutcliffe
equation value of the daily average runoff is 0.79, the balance error is −0.79% and the goodness of fit R
2 value is 0.81. Meanwhile, when the Cubic method is used, the Nash-Sutcliffe equation value, the balance error and the R
2 value are 0.79, −0.65% and 0.80, respectively. Though the runoff simulation result is not favorable, it is still better than
that using measured data at the meteorological and hydrological stations; the latter has a Nash-Sutcliffe equation value of
0.61. The MM5-DWHC model results also show that runoff mainly occurs on land surfaces and from shallow soil layers. According
to model calibration results, certain outputs of MM5 are singular to some extent and the DWHC model is very sensitive to the
initial values. |
