| Research Abstract |
Parameterization of the land surface processes is investigated for calculating the heat fluxes over various ground surfaces. The main results are summarized as follows : (1) A linear heat budget model is developed to estimate the daytime means of the bulk transfer coefficients for heat and evaporation efficiency using the daily variation of observation data. (2) A multi-layr soil model is constructed taking into consideration the diffusion of water vapor and vaporization in the soil pores. Simulated values of the surface heat balance and the soil temperature are shown to be in close agreement with the observational results which are obtained several places in Japan and China. (3) Calculations of snow surface temperature have been attempted using a simple heat balance model and also a sophisticated model considering the physical processes within a snow-cover. (4) The effect of snow cover on the heat balance of the ground durface over north-western China is studied with a heat-water balance model. The calculated results of snow accumulating and melting processes are in close agreement with the routine observations. (5) Atmospheric heating duringthe snowmelt season is studied by means of data analysis and numerical model experiments. As a result of the data analysis, it is shown that in some examples the daytime air temperature rose above 0ﾟC,even if the ground was covered by snow. (6) A calculation model is presented for prediction of annual variations of the soil water content, water equivalent of snow, runoff in a watershed, and the river water temperature using "new bucket-model" and "heat balance model".
