5 Parametrization schemes Land-Surface Scheme TERRA Consider surface energy budget Impact parameters: soil moisture and type, vegetation, surface roughness and land-use class, snow coverage Surface temperature depends on surface energy budget determines PBL development Relationship between energy budget and water budget has to be considered courtesy to Anton Beljaars

6 Parametrization schemes Land-Surface Scheme TERRA Surface temperature considers temperature of snow covered and snow free surface fraction (snow tiles) One-layer vegetation Evapotranspiration after Dickinson (1984) interception reservoir Urban areas: modified surface roughness, leaf area index, plant coverage - detailed consideration possible Transfer of heat, moisture and momentum PBL coupling: application of the turbulence scheme at the lower model boundary and iterative interpolation Consideration of TILES (in ICON) courtesy to Anton Beljaars

13 Frozen soil - Soils maintain some liquid water at temperatures below freezing point - Freezing point depression: Curvature of water around small hydrophilic soil particles (Davis, 2001) - - Analogous to freezing point depression by solutes in water - Result: Thin liquid water films surrounding soil particles at T<0 C

14 Frozen soil For peat f_c and f_s of sand is used

15 Frozen soil

16 Snow Main effects Insulation effect: Decoupling of soil from atmosphere (30%-90% of the snow mantle is air) Albedo Effect: Higher albedo than any other natural surface ( for bare ground/low vegetation, for snow in forests) Snow melting prevents rise of surface temperature above 0 C for a long period in spring impact on hydrological cycle and energy budget at surface Snow Model One layer prognostic variables : snow temperature, snow water equivalent, snow density, snow albedo G. Balsamo, 2007 Multi-layer Vertical profiles in snow pack; considers equations for the snow albedo, snow temperature, density, total water content and content of liquid water. Therefore phase transitions in the snow pack are included.
