Based on the assumption of 3-dimension building geometry,a multiplayer urban canopy model were developed to research the relationship between atmospheric movement and the urban developing.The canopy model,which consists of a set of dynamic e-quations with a drag force,and there are three major parameters:building width,distance between buildings,and vertical floor density distribution,which is the distribution of a ratio of the number of the buildings that are taller than some level to all the buildings in the urban area under consideration.In addition,an irradiative process in the canopy is introduced,in which the model geometry is assumed to be an infinitely extended regular array of uniform buildings in the horizontal,each of which is composed of six faces(roof, floor,and four vertical walls).Both of the drag force of the buildings and the irradiative process,including the radiation shadowing and trapping effect,depend on the floor density distribution in the vertical.The off-line validation of the canopy model shows that the simulation is agreed with wind tunnel test data and the observation data in sub-domain very well.As a new urban land-surface scheme,the canopy model was then coupled with Regional Boundary Layer Model of Nanjing University(NJU-RBLM),and on-line cases were performed for 4 August 2004 in Beijing city.The simulation result compared with observations from a dense operational observational network.The comparison result shows that the coupled scheme(MUCM case) correctly reproduces the temperature (within 1 - 2 K difference from the observations) and wind speed(about 1 m/s difference from the observations),and is better than the soil vegetation modified scheme(SLAB case),especially for temperature simulation in night time.Besides,the comparison of ground surface temperature between simulated and observed results by Landsat satellite shows that the new urban land-surface process scheme improved the simulation performance at urban underplaying remarkably for taking care of the more reasonable radiation process in three-dimension buildings structure.
