Abstract:

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important factor affecting the balance of surface energy budget and climate change, and is also the main index to evaluate the performance of land surface model. Xinjiang is the largest arid desert area in China, and its surface temperature changes have an important impact on the local and downstream ecological environment and climate changes. In order to find out the main factors affecting the effect of the third generation land surface model NCAR CLM4.5 to simulate the land surface temperature in Xinjiang, and promote the development of the model, this paper evaluates the effect of CLM 4.5 in simulating the surface temperature of Xinjiang for a long time based on the evaluation of ERA-5 reanalysis data. Then, using the surface energy change equation, the main factors causing the deviation of surface temperature simulation in Xinjiang are revealed. The results show that the spatial distribution characteristics, magnitude and temporal variation of ERA-5 surface temperature are very consistent with the field observation, which can be used to study the regional surface temperature change. The cold deviation value of CLM4.5 for Xinjiang surface temperature simulation is large, and the correlation is significant, and the error size is related to the climate background and underlying surface conditions. The lower sensible calorific value and higher latent heat value simulated by CLM4.5 are the main reasons for the low simulated surface temperature. The latent heat value simulated by CLM4.5 is 90% more than that of ERA-5 in most areas of Xinjiang. 0-10 cm soil moisture simulated by CLM4.5 in Xinjiang is relatively large, and the evapotranspiration is relatively strong, which leads to the relatively large latent heat flux. Therefore, improving the soil moisture calculation scheme is an effective way to improve the simulation level of the land surface model to the surface temperature in Xinjiang.
