To address this question, we utilize high-resolution large-eddy simulations (LESs) to explore correlations between energy flux imbalances and Fc imbalances in convective boundary layers, considering both homogeneous and idealized heterogeneous surfaces. Our findings reveal that the unsteady CO₂ or storage represents a leading factor influencing Fc imbalance, especially notable when the entrainment ratio for Fc is large. Even in scenarios with uniform surface Fcs, heterogeneous thermally-generated turbulence resulting from variable surface sensible heat flux (H) can induce substantial horizontal flux divergence, magnifying Fc imbalance. While a linear correlation between the energy flux imbalance and Fc imbalance arises under shared causative mechanisms (e.g., storage), complex correlations emerge if their influencing factors differ, contingent upon surface heterogeneity and site location. This complexity underscores the limitations in applying the closing methods for energy flux imbalance to the Fc imbalance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50839,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural and Forest Meteorology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168192324003241/pdfft?md5=c15255d96ae8545bc179c604929f7f8c&pid=1-s2.0-S0168192324003241-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142144408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practical applications, single-parameter versions are often derived by fixing one of these parameters. But there is ongoing debate about which parameter to fix and under what conditions.

Here, following the selection of one uncertain parameter value using empirical measurements, we used those radar observations for the quantitative calibration of two uncertain flight model variables in our individual-based SBW–pyATM model, one that describes the conversion of moth wingbeat to flight speed, and a second that allows the moth to conserve energy during flight. For these experiments, we adapted a grid-based metric from meteorology that has previously been used to calibrate and validate precipitation forecasts by comparison with radar data. Through thousands of flight simulations for the night of 15–16 July 2013, examining each of these parameters separately and in conjunction, we arrived at optimal values that produce a spatiotemporal distribution of SBW moth dispersal that most closely matches the radar observations for that night.

We compared MODIS and Landsat-based land cover data to detect a more accurate forest cover change. We then used the moving window strategy and spatiotemporal pattern change analysis method to quantify and compare the actual impact of forest cover change on temperature and the differences in driving factors (e.g., evapotranspiration (ET), albedo, and precipitation) from 2010 to 2020.

The afforested areas in the two regions showed a diurnal cooling effect (-0.18 ± 0.07 °C and -0.10 ± 0.13 °C, respectively), which was greater than the air temperature. Forest converting to impervious surfaces led to stronger warming (0.39 ± 0.37 °C in YRD) than that of cropland (0.05 ± 0.03 °C in YRD and 0.07 ± 0.06 °C in PRD). The daytime LST variations can be explained by ET and inconsistent albedo effects.

In this context, an adequate representation of the land-atmosphere interaction is critical to ensure optimal management of current and future water resources, forest management, and climate prediction. However, the task is particularly intricate in high-latitude boreal forest, as land surface model faces several challenges due to the unique environmental conditions and ecological characteristics. The objective of this study is to quantify the impact of forest landscape heterogeneity, specifically stand leaf-area index (LAI), soil texture, and drainage regime, on surface water and energy balance in a small boreal high-latitude sub-catchment. To this end, hydrometeorological conditions at seventeen 20×20 m plots in a 1-km² boreal forest sub-basin are simulated using the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS), a land surface model, at the point scale. The subplot-scale soil texture, drainage regime, and vegetation characteristics and type are based as closely as possible on field measurements and observations for the 17 plots. The model-driven experiment comprises two sets of simulations using CLASS, each employing the same model setup and run for the 17 experimental plots. The main set employs meteorological forcing from a local micrometeorological tower within the sub-basin to investigate the plot-to-plot variability of albedo, energy fluxes, and soil state variables. A second set of simulations is conducted using meteorological forcing from the ERA5-Land reanalysis, which spans from 1986 to 2022. This data provides a longer time series, enabling a more accurate representation of the interannual climatic variability in the sub-basin. The results of the main and secondary sets of CLASS simulations are used to assess the plot-to-plot and temporal variability of several key hydrometeorological variables by calculating a monthly spread. In brief, the following conclusions and broader implications can be drawn from the findings: i) The simulated total annual evapotranspiration remains relatively uniform between plots despite notable variation in its partitioning from plot to plot. ii) In the presence of a full snowpack, the albedo exhibits substantial heterogeneity at the subplot scale, linked to the canopy's LAI. iii) Local soil properties, drainage regime, and vegetation structure and type exhibit substantial influence on the plot-to-plot variability in soil water content. iv) When parameterized with localized observations and measurements, CLASS can represent and be responsive to the complex dynamics of energy and water fluxes at the plot scale within the heterogeneous surface of boreal forests.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50839,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural and Forest Meteorology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168192324003071/pdfft?md5=850dba0d38f768f242193f67018c84b3&pid=1-s2.0-S0168192324003071-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142044693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
