Background and objective • Tibetan Plateau is important in the progress of the Asian summer monsoon • land surface processes • direct Orographic and thermal effects • Land-atmosphere interaction in T-P is the key to • improve the understanding of Asian monsoon • improve the accuracy of numerical weather prediction in east Asia • mitigate weather disaster in this region • Objectives of this research • To identify the potential of LDAS to improve the modeling of land surface fluxes. • To generate reliable regional distribution of soil moisture and energy fluxes IGARSS 2011, Jul. 26, Vancouver
Land Data Assimilation System • Why LDAS • Shortage of model • Maybe biased, can not correct errors from forcing, parameter setting and model physics • Shortage of satellite remote sensing • Limited information, both temporal and spatial • Structure of LDAS: three parts of a variational system • Dynamic model: Land surface scheme : • SiB2 • TB observation: • RTM: Advanced Integral Equation Method (AIEM) • Optimization scheme: • Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) IGARSS 2011, Jul. 26, Vancouver

Result: Dynamic variation NCEP LDAS-UT Cyclonic brings moisture from the Bay of Bengal to the SE of T-P, and brings dry air mass from Taklamagan desert LDAS-UT is able to provide more realistic land surface status for research in other principles IGARSS 2011, Jul. 26, Vancouver
Remark • Land-atmosphere interaction in T-P is very important for Asian monsoon development. • Combining MW remote sensing and LSM, LDAS could improve the land surface fluxes simulation. • LDAS produce more realistic land surface status, which is in good agreement with monsoon development. • Feeding LDAS fluxes into atmosphere model is expected IGARSS 2011, Jul. 26, Vancouver
