The Impact of Spatial and Temporal Variability of Landscape on Atmosphere - Land Interactions at the Mesoscale

这项研究旨在评估亚网格尺度陆气相互作用在不同空间和时间尺度上的重要性。为此，将使用科罗拉多州立大学区域大气模拟系统(CSU-RAMS)。这个最先进的大气数值模式模拟的区域可以从几公里到几千公里不等。因此，例如，利用该模型可以在网格尺度上研究GCM中单个网格中的亚网格尺度的过程。正在提供资金，以加强气候动力学(NSF)支持的项目，配备一名经验丰富的博士后研究员和用品。

The study proposed here is aimed at evaluating the importance of subgrid-scale land-atmosphere interactions at different spatial and temporal scales. The Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CSU-RAMS) will be used for this purpose. The domain simulated by this state-of-the-art numerical atmospheric model can vary from a few kilometers to a few thousand of kilometers. Thus, subgrid-scale processes in a single grid of a GCM, for instance, can be investigated at the grid scale with this model. Funds are being provided to augment the project supported by Climate Dynamics (NSF) with an experienced post doctoral researcher plus supplies.
