Land surface processes and their intraction with weather and climate

Observation and numerical simulation on the effects of land use/land cover change on convective activities in Eastern Gansu （2024.1-2027.12）

East Gansu is an area with frequent convective storms.  Since the implementation of "Green for Grain" in 1999, there have been significant changes in the land cover in this area. Does this change alter the spatial heterogeneity of surface properties, thereby affecting the spatial distribution of convective activities?  It is not yet clear. The project plan to analyze the differences in atmospheric environmental parameters between local convective days and sunny days, the spatiotemporal variability of convective activities in the study area and its relationships with soil moisture, land cover, topography, etc. The role of spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture and land cover in the development of convective boundary layer and the establishment of pre-storm atmospheric environment will be revealed. Numerical sensitivity experiments will be conducted to investigate the process and mechanisms of topography and spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture and land cover on the initiation and development of convection. 

Westerly and monsoon interaction, and their effect on water cycle in eastern Tibet Plateau (2019.11-2024.10)

Through the research on the climate change mechanism of the "westerly monsoon" interaction region in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, we try to understand and predict the climate change in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the Asian monsoon region and the regions along the "Silk Road" economic belt. The interaction between one belt, one road and the west side of the Qinghai Xizang Plateau will be studied. The interaction between the westerly and monsoon through the water vapor interaction will be analyzed. The influence of this interaction on the Northern Hemisphere climate variability will be analyzed, including the simulating and forecasting ability of the earth simulation system, and the climatic influence of the "one belt" economic belt core area. This project will scientifically answer the question of the synergism of monsoon and westerlies on multiple time scales, and solve the key energy, water transport and regional and global impact characteristics that restrict the understanding of the interaction mechanism of "westerlies and monsoons". 

Effect of land-atmosphere interaction and boundary layer structure on heat source intensity over Qinghai-Tibet plateau (2018.11-2021.10)

By establishing a comprehensive observation network of land surface and boundary layer covering the Middle East and northeast of the Tibetan plateau, the comprehensive observational data of land surface and boundary layer covering three consecutive years will be collected; the atmospheric boundary layer structure and its variation characteristics, the energy and water exchange characteristics between the earth and the atmosphere will be studied at typical stations, and the applicability of the boundary layer structure and the water and heat characteristics from large-scale reanalysis data will be evaluated; at the same time, based on the in situ observations and the heat source intensity from reanalysis data, a quantitative estimation method for regional scale surface and atmospheric heat source based on limited observation data will be developed combined with key surface characteristic parameters representing the plateau land surface-atmosphere interactions. On this basis, the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of the heat source intensity over the plateau will be analyzed.

Observation and numerical modeling study of the effect of soil moisture on boundary layer structure and convection initiation over Losses plateau, Eastern Gansu(2015-2019)

Losses Plateau in East Gansu is an area with frequent convective storms. A synthetic observation including land surface processes, boundary layer structure and convective activities is the key to further understanding the triggering mechanisms of these storms, which is very important for improving the ability of mesoscale models for severe weather forecasting. The limited understanding of the role of land surface and boundary layer processes in triggering convections in this area have largely delayed our prediction skills in short, disaster weathers. This project considers the land surface process, boundary layer development and convection initiation as a whole to analyze the spatial distribution of convection preferential areas and its relation to surface conditions; evaluate the effect of surface radiation and energy budget on boundary layer development and convection initiation with focus on the role of entrainment on top of boundary layer in the establishment of pre-environment for convection initiation; discuss the effect of soil moisture status and spatial distribution on boundary layer development and convection initiation. Results from the project will improve our understanding on the role of land surface and boundary layer processes in the formation of severe weather and offer a way for further development of weather forecasting models.

Characteristics of land-atmosphere energy and water exchange and its response to climate change in the Tibetan Plateau (2013-2018)

Land-atmosphere energy and water exchange reflects the process of energy exchange and coupling between the surface and the atmosphere. There are great differences in the energy transfer process under different climatic background and underlying surface conditions. The analysis and comparison of the characteristics of land-atmosphere energy and water exchange over the Qinghai-Tibet plateau is helpful to understand the impact of climate change on the land-atmosphere energy and water exchange over the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, and the mechanism of the response of desertification on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau to climate change. In view of the particularity of desertification over the Qinghai-Tibet plateau , which is sensitive to temperature and related to the degradation of permafrost, this study aims to solve the key scientific question of the response of the land-surface energy and water exchange process over different types of surface to climate change on the basis of the analysis of multi-point observation data.

Observation and numerical study of energy and water processes in typical Loess Plateau areas(2012-2015)

The losse plateau is a unique land type in China. Further investigation of its energy and water cycle is very important for the understanding of the role of losse plateau in regional climate change and will be an important contribution to the study of global energy and water cycle. Until now the land-atmosphere coupling process and its control factors in losse plateau area are not well understood, which is an important factor affecting the skill of climate prediction in this area. In current project, field observations on the energy and water exchange between land and atmosphere and its transport process will be conducted in the losse plateau, together with the atmospheric boundary layer structure; the characteristics of energy and water transport will be investigated and the Noah land surface model will be developed based on the improvement of land process parameterization scheme and remotely sensed land surface parameters. The improved model will be used to reveal the main factors controlling the energy and water transport in the losse plateau; investigate the processes of land -atmosphere energy and water exchange and its relation with the dynamic and thermal dynamic structure of the boundary layer. The project will advance our understanding of the role of the land surface processes on regional climate change in the losse plateau area and have important implications on the improvement of current weather forecast model.

The charge distribution and discharge initiation mechanism in thunderstorms (2014-2019)

This is a subproject of a National Kay Basic Research Program funded by the Ministry of Science and Tecnolgy of China. The project aims to understand the characteristics of charge distribution and the formation mechanism of charge structure in the severe thunderstorms; the initial conditions, development process and mechanism of lightning in thunderstorms, and the special discharge events (such as bipolar large pulse NBEs, etc.), as well as the related electric field environment and generation mechanism. The atmospheric boundary layer structure and turbulence characteristics under different types of lightning disasters were compared and analyzed.

Boundary Layer Processes 

Mechanism and parameterization of local ecology and climate effect of large wind farms (2019-2023)

At present, most of the studies on the ecology and climate effect of wind farms are based on the results from idealized numerical experiments and wind tunnel experiments. To what extent do wind farms alter local meteorology and turbulent transport processes? Will it cause local/regional weather and climate change? What are the effects and mechanisms of wind farm operation on terrestrial vegetation and soil properties? What is the influence of offshore wind farm on marine ecological environment? All these questions need answers. In addition, the parameterization scheme of wind farms in regional climate model is not perfect, the simulation results are lack of comparison and verification with the in situ observations, and the research results of climate effects of wind farms are inconsistent. As for the research on the ecological effect and mechanism of wind farms, only a few studies focus on the ecological  effect during the construction period of wind farms, and there is a lack of research on the operation period of wind farms. We are going to investigate the above science questions in the project.

Numerical simulation of katabatic flow jumps in Antarctica (2000-2004)

The project investigated the conditions under which a katabatic flow jump (KFJ) (an abrupt rise of surface pressure and decrease of boundary layer wind speed) originates, develops and interacts with the rest of the planetary boundary layer; and revealed detailed structure and dynamical processes within KFJs. A series of quasi-two dimensional numerical simulations with horizontal spatial resolution ranging from 3500 m (one grid) to 35 m (four nested grids) were carried out. Results are compared to available theories. The project involves the use of the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System – RAMS and the development of a number of FORTRAN and C Shell programs to analyse and graphically manipulate the model output. R-plot and Vis5D were also used to view and present model results. The results have been presented at national conferences and peer reviewed journals.
