The role of vegetation-runoff system—in simulating the tropical African climate—was examined by analysing two 13-year simulations with two runoff schemes of the community land model version 4.5 (CLM45): the default one is TOPMODEL (TOP) and the other one is the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) using a regional climate model (RegCM4-CLM45). In both simulations, the carbon-nitrogen (CN) module was activated. The first simulation was referred to as CN-TOP, while the second one was designated as CN-VIC. Overall, the results showed that the CN-VIC severely decreases the leaf area index (LAI), vegetation transpiration and soil evaporation relative to the CN-TOP. Eventually, it severely underestimates the total evapotranspiration but overestimates the sensible heat flux in comparison with the reanalysis product; meanwhile the CN-TOP opposes this effect. As a result, the CN-TOP shows a strong cold bias, and the CN-VIC shows a slightly warm bias in comparison with the observation. Moreover, enabling the interactive vegetation module leads to intensifying the dry bias of the total surface precipitation in both simulations with respect to the static vegetation case against the reanalysis product; however the CN-VIC still outperforms the CN-TOP in comparison with the observations. In conclusion, the coupled vegetation-runoff system has a strong influence on the tropical African climate relative to the static case, and calibrating the four parameters of the VIC surface dataset ensures a better and more reliable performance of the coupled RegCM4-CLM45-CN-VIC model for simulating the tropical African climate.

关于耦合的植被—径流系统在模拟非洲热带气候中的作用:区域气候模型敏感性研究

植被径流系统在模拟非洲热带气候中的作用已通过分析两个13年的模拟,并使用了两种径流方案(社区土地模型版本4.5(CLM45))进行了分析:默认方案为TOPMODEL(TOP),另一方案为TOPMODEL(TOP)一种是使用区域气候模型(RegCM4-CLM45)的可变渗透能力(VIC)。在这两个模拟中,均激活了碳氮(CN)模块。第一个模拟称为CN-TOP,第二个模拟称为CN-VIC。总体而言,结果表明,相对于CN-TOP,CN-VIC严重降低了叶面积指数(LAI),植被蒸腾作用和土壤蒸发。最终,与再分析产品相比,它严重低估了总蒸散量,但高估了显热通量。同时,CN-TOP反对这种效果。结果,与观察结果相比,CN-TOP显示出强的冷偏差,而CN-VIC显示出轻微的热偏差。此外,启用交互式植被模块会导致在两个模拟中相对于针对重新分析产品的静态植被情况,都增加了总表面降水的干燥偏差。然而,与观测值相比,CN-VIC仍胜过CN-TOP。总之,相对于静态情况,耦合的植被径流系统对非洲热带气候有很大影响,并且校准VIC表面数据集的四个参数可确保耦合的RegCM4-CLM45-CN-的性能更好,更可靠。用于模拟非洲热带气候的VIC模型。与观测值相比,CN-VIC略有偏热。此外,启用交互式植被模块会导致在两个模拟中相对于针对重新分析产品的静态植被情况,都增加了总表面降水的干燥偏差。然而,与观测值相比,CN-VIC仍胜过CN-TOP。总之,相对于静态情况,耦合的植被径流系统对非洲热带气候有很大影响,并且校准VIC表面数据集的四个参数可确保耦合的RegCM4-CLM45-CN-的性能更好,更可靠。用于模拟非洲热带气候的VIC模型。与观测值相比,CN-VIC略有偏热。此外,启用交互式植被模块会导致在两个模拟中相对于针对重新分析产品的静态植被情况,都增加了总表面降水的干燥偏差。然而,与观测值相比,CN-VIC仍胜过CN-TOP。总之,相对于静态情况,耦合的植被径流系统对非洲热带气候有很大影响,并且校准VIC表面数据集的四个参数可确保耦合的RegCM4-CLM45-CN-的性能更好且更可靠用于模拟非洲热带气候的VIC模型。相对于针对重新分析产品的静态植被情况,启用交互式植被模块会导致在两个模拟中加剧总表面降水的干燥偏差;然而,与观测值相比,CN-VIC仍胜过CN-TOP。总之,相对于静态情况,耦合的植被径流系统对非洲热带气候有很大影响,并且校准VIC表面数据集的四个参数可确保耦合的RegCM4-CLM45-CN-的性能更好,更可靠。用于模拟非洲热带气候的VIC模型。相对于针对重新分析产品的静态植被情况,启用交互式植被模块会导致在两个模拟中加剧总表面降水的干燥偏差;然而,与观测值相比,CN-VIC仍胜过CN-TOP。总之,相对于静态情况,耦合的植被径流系统对非洲热带气候有很大影响,并且校准VIC表面数据集的四个参数可确保耦合的RegCM4-CLM45-CN-的性能更好,更可靠。用于模拟非洲热带气候的VIC模型。
