全球大气环流模式FAMIL水平分辨率提高对全球云辐射效应模拟的影响

Impact of Increased Horizontal Resolution in the Global Atmospheric Circulation Model FAMIL on the Simulation of Global Cloud Radiative Effects

  • 摘要: 云模拟的不确定性会影响气候模式中的关键物理过程。本文利用CloudSat/CALIPSO和CERES卫星资料及ERA5再分析资料,分析了LASG/IAP开发的气候系统模式FGOALS-f3中的大气分量FAMIL在100km、25km、12.5km分辨率下对全球气候态云量和云辐射效应(CRE)模拟的分布特征;并基于Xu-Randall云量诊断方案,讨论了模式偏差的可能来源。结果表明,不同分辨率下,云量模拟结果均呈现低(高)纬地区均被低(高)估的特征,而随分辨率增加,模拟技巧呈非线性变化。在全球尺度上,25km模式云量模拟偏差较100km模式增大,12.5km模式较25km模式在西太平洋暖池等区域云量偏差改善了约4%。模式分辨率增加后,模拟的CRE随云量的减少而偏低。在Xu-Randall方案中,相对湿度(RH)是气候态云量形成的主导因子,因此分辨率的提升会通过影响温度和垂直速度等变量进一步改变RH,间接影响云量偏差。在低纬对流层中高层,100km模式垂直速度偏弱,间接导致云量被低估;25km模式较100km模式温度偏高,导致云量偏差增大;12.5km模式较25km模式温度偏低,致使云量偏差减小。

     

    Abstract: Uncertainties in cloud simulations can affect key physical processes in climate simulation. Using satellite data from CloudSat/CALIPSO and CERES and ERA5 reanalysis data, this study analyzes the distribution characteristics of global climatological cloud fraction and cloud radiative effects (CRE) simulated by the atmospheric component FAMIL in the climate system model FGOALS-f3 at resolutions of 100km, 25km, and 12.5km, and discusses the potential sources of simulation errors based on Xu-Randall cloud diagnostic scheme. The results show that at different resolutions, the cloud fraction simulation is underestimated (overestimated) in low (high) latitude areas, and the simulation technique changes nonlinearly with the increase of resolution. On the global scale, the deviation of the 25km model is increases compared with the 100km model, and the cloud fraction deviation of 12.5km model is about 4% higher than that of 25km model in regions like the Western Pacific Warm Pool. After the model resolution increases, the simulation of CRE is lower with the decrease in cloud fraction. In the Xu-Randall scheme, relative humidity (RH) is the dominant factor controlling climatological cloud fraction. Resolution enhancement will further change RH through affecting variables such as temperature and vertical velocity, indirectly affecting cloud deviation. The weak vertical velocity of the 100km model indirectly leads to the underestimation of cloud fraction in the middle and high layer at low latitudes. Compared with the 100km model, the higher temperature of the 25km model increases the cloud fraction deviation. Compared to the 25km model, the temperature of the 12.5km model is lower than that of the 25km model, resulting in a decrease in the cloud fraction deviation.
