Abstract:In order to study the optimal parameterization scheme of the land surface model Noah-MP in the desert underlying surface, this paper set up three sets of simulation experiments combining different parameterization schemes according to the characteristics of the desert environment, which based on the observation data over the Taklimakan Desert Atmospheric Environment Monitoring Station (TDAEMS), and then get the best combination. The results show that the 3rd group was the best simulation effect on soil temperature of 10 cm. The main reason is that the Chen97 sensible heat exchange coefficient and the entire grid cell two-stream approximation (gap=0) radiation transfer scheme are in line with the environmental characteristics of the TDAEMS. The three groups of experiments have poor performance soil moisture simulation . The main reason is that the surface environment and soil information of TDAEMS are not reflected in the model. The second group chooses CLM scheme to have some considerations on the influence of soil type evaporation, and has a better correlation. As for the sensible heat flux, the 1st and 2nd sets of simulation values are overestimated at the peak, especially the second set of simulated values are significantly underestimated after precipitation, and the 3rd set of simulations is the best, mainly due to the choice of sense. The heat exchange coefficient Chen97 scheme could describe the Ch variation characteristics more realistically. The latent heat flux has the worst simulation effect among the four characteristic variables. The main reason is that the desert soil moisture is extremely low. There is a bias between the observed precipitation and the actual amount of water entering the soil. In addition, there is no vegetation and plant roots. The model cannot accurately calculate soil evaporation and vegetation evapotranspiration. Therefore, the calculation of latent heat flux in the desert area is not ideal. Based on the comprehensive statistical analysis and the Taylor diagram, the third set of simulations has the best performance and can better restore the land surface process in the desert area.
