• Resolution of NWPs not sufficient for resolving smaller scale surface heterogeneities
→ represented by coupling tiles (different surfaces) with one atmospheric column
• research on the pros and cons of this type of coupling is scarce
• current loading of the ECMWF surface scheme is 1.7% of computational power
• AIM: To run ECMWF surface scheme offline with ERA-Interim forcing and compare results with measurements from 3 distinct sites
→ is tiling worthwhile?

• Hydrology Tiled ECMWF Scheme for Surface Exchanges over Land HTESSEL (cycle 37R1 )
• currently 6 tiles over land; lakes considered only if fraction >50%
• estimates surface water and energy fluxes, soil temperature and water content
• LAKEHTESSEL (Dutra et al. 2010) includes lake model Flake (Mironov 2008)
• no urban scheme
• year 2006 (each run iterated 3 times)

• Forcing: ERA-Interim reanalysis
•T255, 80 km grid
•10m height
• Forest: geographical information:
•Integrated Forecast System
•T1279, 16km grid
•75% tall vegetation, 8% bare ground, 17% lakes (not considered)
• Lake: run with 100% lake fraction
• Urban: no runs

Measurements include only
heat storage in ground
Sensible heat flux , average diurnal courses per month
Urban: largest
Lake: tiny, different phase
heat to the water -> ice-out
Forest: modeled smaller in spring
Latent heat flux , average diurnal courses per month
Forest: more evaporation in spring and less
in summer
Lake: huge evaporation in model all the time -> huge
vapor pressure deficit
Lake: nocturnal evaporation 50 Wm-2

• FLake gives an isothermal temperature profile under ice though water really inversely stratified → reason for late ice melting?
• Does tiling work with very different surfaces (lake-vegetation)?
4. Summary and discussion
Fluxes Forest Lake Urban
Rn ERAI SWdown larger, LWdown smaller (less clouds), different albedos important
G A lot smaller than at lake Large seasonal heat storage change, time of ice-out important!
-
LE Transpiration, modeled energy partitioning different in spring
Night-time evaporation important, large ERAI water vapor deficit induces too much evaporation
Impervious surfaces
H Same order of magnitude and in phase with LE
Tiny and out of phase with LE Anthropogenic heat flux

• run for lake using closer ERAI forcing• runs with higher level forcing (30m & 60m)
→ how does tiling work now?• runs using real measurements
→ how much of the error is attributed to ERAI forcing?
