  1. Revision of the SVAT model TERRA in the COSMO model based on the validation of TERRA standalone J. Helmert and G. Vogel Deutscher Wetterdienst

  2. Background • Adaption of improvements in TERRA standalone (F. Ament - ZMAW University Hamburg) into COSMO code • Incorporation of enhanced external parameters (min. stom. resistance, emissivity, NDVI climatology, clim. soil temperature) • Adaptions of look-up tables (ensure backward compatibility) • Impact of adaptions in TERRA on soil moisture analysis (SMA) in COSMO-EU (DWD) has to be considered

  5. Reference conditions for different soil types (sand, silty sand, loamy sand, sandy loam and loam) Impermeable lower hydrological boundary (“rigid lid”) Ground water as lower boundary condition Depletion of root density with depth Bare soil evaporation according to Noilhan & Planton (1989) Reduction of root depth (0.2m) Revised parameterization of infiltration allowing higher infiltration rates Moisture drainage and diffusion parameterization according to Brooks & Coorey (DWD soil types) Soil heat conductivity does not depend on soil moisture Satellite derived LAI and plant cover (climatolo- gical annual cycle) Variation of surface roughness Variation of stomatal resistance and wilting point Tested options and assumptions … and various combinations of them

  15. COSMO-EU Experiments

  16. COSMO-EU Experiments – Properties and Goals • Start 2009030100: #6795 (w/o SMA,HeatCond); #7004 (SMA, HeatCond) • Incorporation of enhanced external parameters (min. stom. resistance, emissivity, NDVI climatology, clim. soil temperature) • Adaptions of look-up tables (ensure backward compatibility) • Impact of adaptions in TERRA on soil moisture analysis (SMA) in COSMO-EU (DWD) has to be considered • Bare soil evaporation after Noilhan and Platon, 1989 (BS) - former Dickinson, 1984 • Non-uniform root distribution (RD) • Ground water with upward diffusion • HeatCond: Soil moisture dependent heat conductivity (#7004)

  31. Timeseries of T_2M and TD_2M

  32. Comparison of diurnal cycle T_2M

  33. Comparison of diurnal cycle TD_2M

  34. PS, PSML: The test versions 47c  shows a similar pressure bias as the reference version, with only few stations within the alps showing a slightly larger positive bias. The standard deviation is also almost identical. For the reduced pressure, the results are even closer between the two versions. T_2M: The temperature is generally higher in 47c, leading to a more positive bias at the vast majority of the stations, and to less negative bias only at stations north and south of the Alps. The negative bias within the Alps remains or is even more pronounced at particular stations. The standard deviation is very similar for test and reference.TD_2M: The dewpoint temperature bias is switching from an overestimation (wet bias) to an underestimation (dry bias) at most inland stations. The impact on the standard deviation is neutral  with only a moderate increase at few stations in the Alps.FF_10M: The wind speed is generally increased, increasing the positive wind speed bias at many sites but decreasing the negative bias in the mountains. The impact on the standard deviation is neutral.CLCT: The cloud coverage  bias is similar in the test version 47c as in the reference. The impact on the standard deviation is small. TOT_PREC: The positive precipitation bias of COSMO-7 is slighly reduced at few stations in the Alps only, but very similar everywhere else and also similar for COSMO-2. The standard deviation and frequency bias are all similar. + better ~ neutral - worse

  35. Summary & Outlook • Adaption of improvements in TERRA standalone (F. Ament - ZMAW University Hamburg) into COSMO code • Comparison and verification of experiments at DWD and MeteoSchweiz • Incorporation of enhanced external parameters (min. stom. resistance, emissivity, NDVI climatology, clim. soil temperature) • Adaptions of look-up tables (ensure backward compatibility) • Impact of adaptions in TERRA on soil moisture analysis (SMA) in COSMO-EU (DWD) has to be considered • Consideration of T_2M and TD_2M Bias – wrong effect from right reasons?
