It is achieved by developing a MOS toolkit to iteratively incorporate the attributes of bias, spread, trend, and association into forecast post-processing, resulting in a series of methodical one-factor-at-a-time experiments. A case study is devised for monthly forecasts of July 2-m air temperature (T2m) over land and sea surface temperature (SST) generated by the National Center for Environmental Prediction's Climate Forecast System version 2. The results expose the detrimental impacts of biases and unreliable ensemble spreads within raw temperature forecasts.

The incremental considerations of bias, spread, trend, and association of the MOS methods result in substantial skill enhancements across global land and marine grid cells. Notably, the CRPSS of T2m is improved to 21.00 ± 23.63% and the SST forecast skill is improved to 42.26 ± 22.43%.

Observational analysis shows that the extremely large accumulation of precipitation and long duration of this event are closely related to a slowly moving landfall typhoon “Dusuari” over North China due to the blocking effect of an anomalous high over the mid-high latitude Asia. The anomalous southeasterly flow induced by the typhoon “Dusuari” and another typhoon “Khanun” over the East China Sea jointly built a highly efficient channel of water vapor supply from southern oceans toward North China. A water vapor budget analysis indicates that precipitation of this event is mainly caused by the dynamic process involving strong ascending motion. Accompanying strong water vapor transportation and convergence over North China, large amount of latent heat is released in the middle and the lower troposphere. The physical mechanisms of heavy rainfall-induced diabatic heating in maintaining the precipitation over North China is further investigated using statistical analysis and numerical experiments. On one hand, the latent heating released by heavy rainfall induces significant uplifting flows which causes more precipitation. On the other hand, the heavy rainfall-induced diabatic heating contributes to the enhancement of the westward extension of high-pressure dam over mid-high latitude through a regional meridional circulation.

This study conducted a 22-year (2000–2021) JJA simulation at a CP resolution (4-km grid spacing) using the WRF model (WRF-CPM) over East China. The WRF-CPM model's ability to reproduce MCSs was evaluated against satellite infrared-retrieved cloud top temperature, IMERG V06 precipitation, and global reanalysis data ERA5. Results show that WRF-CPM captures the observed MCS frequency and precipitation patterns but overestimates them in most areas, which might be related to the overestimated moisture and CAPE. The model also reproduces the eastward propagation of MCSs, albeit at a slightly faster speed and longer duration. MCSs in WRF-CPM exhibits realistic life cycles in terms of cloud top temperature, convective core area, and precipitation. WRF-CPM tends to overestimate rainfall frequency over 20 mm/hr while underestimates rainfall per MCS, possibly due to an overestimated number and area. The model captures the diurnal cycle of MCSs well in most of East China, though it shows a 2-hr delay in southeast China and produces the peak a few hours earlier to the east of Tibetan Plateau. Total column water vapor (TCWV) and wind shear are well-established factors controlling MCS behavior and rainfall, yet capturing the effects remains a challenge for CP models.

Various sensibility tests are conducted, including the replacement of soil property, surface drag coefficient scheme, canopy stomatal resistance scheme, soil surface resistance scheme, and their different combinations.

Compared to traditional optimization algorithms, the deep learning-based optimization framework, namely differentiable parameter learning (dPL), reduces computational costs and achieves greater spatial generalizability. However, the effectiveness of the parameter values derived from dPL in enhancing land surface modeling needs further verification. This study introduced a deep learning-based adaptive parameter learning (APL) framework for efficiently optimizing key parameters in the Common Land Model (CoLM) to simulate high-resolution soil moisture (SM) across Northeast China. We began by constructing a surrogate model using long short-term memory networks to capture the relationships between CoLM parameters, meteorological forcing data, and simulated SM. Initial parameter optimization using the dPL framework improved SM simulations but revealed discrepancies between the performances of surrogate and process-based models. The APL framework builds upon dPL by iteratively refining surrogate models with expanded training data sets enhancing their ability to approximate the behavior of process-based models. Evaluations using four metrics—bias, root mean square error, correlation, and Kling–Gupta efficiency—demonstrated that APL outperformed dPL with both frameworks providing robust parameter estimates. This study underscored the potential of deep learning-based parameter optimization frameworks to overcome traditional calibration challenges in LSMs by improving computational efficiency, enhancing spatial consistency and increasing resilience to uncertainties in forcing and reference data. Finally, we recommended that improving physical coherence in LSMs should not rely solely on adjusting a few parameters but requires a comprehensive approach, including identifying key parameters, employing multiobjective parameter optimization, and, critically, utilizing high-precision land surface benchmarking data sets.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
