Microwave radiances are particularly sensitive to hydrometeors, which can be used to initialize hydrometeor directly if the hydrometeor control variables (HCVs) are available. However, the effects of HCVs statistical structure and their multivariate correlation on all-sky radiance assimilation remain unclear. In this study, five HCVs are introduced into the variational assimilation system. The characteristics of hydrometeor background errors are analyzed, and the combined effect with the observation operator is discussed. Then a 3D Variational all-sky assimilation framework with HCVs is modified to assimilate Fengyun-3C/D Microwave Humidity Sounder-II radiance. It is shown that hydrometeors are initialized by radiance directly, and the thermodynamic fields are adjusted accordingly. The characteristics of multi-variables increments are associated with both the characteristics of HCVs in background error and the Jacobians in observation operator. Furthermore, cycle assimilation and forecast experiments for three typhoon cases are conducted. It is found that the difference between observed and analyzed brightness temperatures decreases when HCVs are activated, and the hydrometeors analysis fields are more consistent with observations. Additionally, the typhoon intensity forecasts are improved with enhanced double warm-core and the secondary circulation. This paper analyzes the characteristics of variational all-sky assimilation framework with HCVs, and demonstrates the potential value of HCVs for variational all-sky radiance assimilation.</p>","PeriodicalId":14881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023MS004153","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This constraint is necessary, for instance, to the Beer–Lambert (B–L) law to establish a relationship between the optical properties and leaf area index. However, the simplified constraint leads to an overestimation of land surface emissivity in the vegetated regions. In this study, we introduce a new scheme considering realistic leaf reflectivity values rather than assuming zero. This new scheme is based on the relationship derived from the B–L law, but it is statistically augmented to consider the effects of leaf reflections. It is designed to emulate a multi-vegetation-layer numerical model known as the Norman model, which is capable of numerical calculations of multi-reflections among leaves. This new method consists of only a couple of simple equations; despite its simplicity, it very closely mimics the Norman model; The discrepancy of the results between the new method and the Norman model is less than measurement uncertainties for any combination of input parameters. When the new scheme is implemented in the Community Land Model version 5 (CLM5), the land surface emissivity values are simulated much more consistently with global measurements, resulting in significant alterations of land surface energy budget. The enhanced realism through our new scheme is poised to contribute to more accurate numerical weather and climate simulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":14881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023MS003957","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142316778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observing these transports is challenging because three-dimensional mesoscale-resolving measurements of currents, temperature, and salinity are required to calculate transport in density coordinates. Previous studies have proposed to circumvent these limitations by inferring subsurface transports from satellite measurements using data-driven methods. However, it is unclear whether these approaches can identify the signatures of subsurface transport in the Southern Ocean, which exhibits an energetic mesoscale eddy field superposed on a highly heterogeneous mean stratification and circulation. This study employs Deep Learning techniques to link the transports of the ACC and the upper and lower branches of the MOC to sea surface height (SSH) and ocean bottom pressure (OBP), using an idealized channel model of the Southern Ocean as a test bed. A key result is that a convolutional neural network produces skillful predictions of the ACC transport and MOC strength (skill score of <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mo>∼</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> ${sim} $</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>0.74 and <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mo>∼</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> ${sim} $</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>0.44, respectively). The skill of these predictions is similar across timescales ranging from daily to decadal but decreases substantially if SSH or OBP is omitted as a predictor. Using a fully connected or linear neural network yields similarly accurate predictions of the ACC transport but substantially less skillful predictions of the MOC strength.

The normal-mode approach provides a formal procedure to reduce the primitive equation system to a shallow-water analogue, although approaches based on vertical integrals of the primitive equation system may be more intuitively appealing. Under a general framework of the latter, classical models by Gill (1980, https://doi.org/10.1256/smsqj.44904) and Lindzen and Nigam (1987, 2.0.co;2&gt;https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0469(1987)044&lt;2418:otross&gt;2.0.co;2) are derived in a deductive manner, by elucidating their limitations, implications, as well physical processes assumed. Major advantage of shallow-water analogue models is that after a vertical integral, the determination of convective heating rate simply reduces to that of a precipitation rate. Consequently, the question of representing convection also <i>almost</i> reduces to that of precipitation. This fact leads to confusions in literature about distinction between large-scale precipitation and subgrid-scale convection. This framework further supports a popular notion of the moisture as a key variable for describing convection. By reviewing the existing formulations, it is shown that convection can be parameterized without moisture under the limit of the parcel-environment quasi-equilibrium.</p>","PeriodicalId":14881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023MS004180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142244442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, the simulation results were able to reproduce the total annual crop yields of certain crops, while also capturing the differences in total yield magnitudes between the domains.

The mean absolute deviation of simulated winter wheat yields was up to 4.6 times lower compared to state-wide records from 1999 to 2019.

However, most existing erosion and sediment transport models are only applicable at the hillslope scale or for small watersheds with fine spatial resolutions (typically much less than 1 km). This study presents a process-based soil erosion and sediment transport model for model applications designed for applications with coarse spatial (e.g., ≥10 km) and temporal (e.g., from hourly to daily) resolutions. This new model, referred to as VIC-SED, effectively accounts for interactions between erosion and hydrological processes. This is achieved by tightly coupling the erosion processes with a hydrologically based Three-layer Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC-3L) land surface model (LSM) and to a multi-scale routing (MSR) model. VIC-SED considers the impacts of (a) the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall intensity on erosion processes and (b) soil moisture on the soil detachment process. VIC-SED is evaluated in two watersheds. Results demonstrate that VIC-SED is capable of reproducing water and suspended sediment discharges at coarse spatial resolutions and varying temporal scales varying from 15-min to daily intervals.

The primary mechanism is stabilization of the boundary layer by stronger long-wave radiative heating at the inversion associated with higher greenhouse gas levels. This weakens the boundary layer mesoscale circulation that is responsible for aggregation of moisture and formation of the Flower Tc state.
