Diagnostic Studies of Global Monsoonal Circulations within the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM)

这项研究项目的目的是检验国家大气研究中心的社区气候模式在其气候模拟中处理全球供暖分布的情况。在这类研究中处于世界领先地位的PI将使用一系列复杂的诊断工具。在气候模拟中，适当地指定供暖分布是非常重要的，因此这项研究主要针对气候理解和预测方面的进步。来自太阳的热能在地球表面和地球大气层内被非均匀地接收，在空间中，特别是从赤道到极地，但由于海洋和陆地的分布，也在纬度圆附近接收。我们的天气和气候对太阳供暖的这些分布做出了反应。为了在计算机模型中成功地模拟和预测气候，人们必须尽可能准确地用加热函数来表示它们。对于气候模型模拟和预测，这是必要的第一步。这也是一项艰巨的任务，因为太阳辐射与大气湿度和微量气体、地表边界条件以及最终再传输到大气和空间的地面辐射之间的非线性相互作用。这类研究是理解气候系统的关键。

The objective of this research project is to examine how well the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Community Climate Model treats the planetary distribution of heating in its climate simulations. A series of sophisticated diagnostic tools will be employed by the PI who is a world leader in this kind of research. Proper specification of heating distributions are of great importance in climate modeling and so this research treats a subject primary to advancements in climate understanding and prediction. Heat energy from the sun is received at the earth's surface and within the earth's atmosphere non-uniformly in space, in particular from equator to poles, but also around a latitude circle because of ocean and land distributions. Our weather and climate respond to these distributions in solar heating. In order to successfully simulate and predict climate in computer models one must represent them in terms of heating functions as accurately as possible. For model simulation and prediction of climate this is a necessary first step. It is also a difficult task because of the non-linear interactions between solar radiation and atmospheric moisture and trace gases, surface boundary conditions, and ultimately terrestrial radiation retransmitted to the atmosphere and to space. Research of this kind is key to understanding the climate system.
