Accurate understanding of land surface is essential to analyze energy exchanges between earth surface and atmosphere. For the quantization of energy fluxes, the various researches about Land Surface Model(LSM) have been progressed. Among the various LSMs, the researches using Common Land Model(CLM) and Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC) model are performed briskly. The CLM which is advanced LSM can calculate realistic results with few user defined parameters. The VIC model which is also typical LSM is widely used for estimation of energy fluxes and runoff in various fields. In this study, the energy fluxes which are net radiation, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux were estimated using CLM and VIC model at Southern Sierra-Critical Zone Observatory(SS-CZO) site in California, United States. In case of net radiation and sensible heat flux, both models showed good agreement with observations, however, the CLM showed underestimated patterns of net radiation and sensible heat flux during precipitation period. In case of latent heat flux, the CLM represented better estimation of latent heat flux than VIC model which underestimated the latent heat flux. Through the estimation of energy fluxes and analysis of models' pros and cons, the applicability of CLM and VIC models and need of multi-model application were identified.

전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인한 자연재해가 빈번하게 발생함에 따라 수자원 분야에서 또한 환경의 변화에 대한 정확한 예측이 더욱 요구되고 있다. 국내에서도 이를 위하여 다양한 방법을 통하여 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 본 연구에서 사용된 Common Land Model (CLM)은 국내에서의 실질적인 적용이 아직 부족하다. 이 모형은 Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer 모형 중 대표적 모델로 Land Surface Model (LSM), Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS), Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Atmospheric Physics LSM의 세 모형이 결합되어 발전하였다. CLM의 강제입력자료로는 위성, 지면모형 등을 기반으로 만들어진 자료를 제공하는 Korea Land Data Assimilation Systme (KLDAS; 한반도지표자료동화체계)의 격자화 된 자료를 사용하여 모형에 강제시켰다. KLDAS는 기존의 Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS)에서 발전한 형태로 동아시아 지역을 대상으로 자료를 제공하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이 자료를 사용하여 국내 전반에 걸쳐 격자에 대한 수문 기상학적 인자를 산출하였다.

Accurate assessment of the water and energy cycles is essential to understand hydrologic, climatologic, and ecological processes. Common Land Model (CLM) is one of the well-developed Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) models based on the water and energy balance equation for accurate prediction of hydro-environmental cycles. The CLM can estimate realistic and reliable results using relatively simple parameters. It has been widely used in the world, however in Korea practical applications of the CLM are rare due to lack of information and input data. In this study, the CLM with Korea Flux network (KoFlux) and Kore Land Data Assimilation System (KLDAS) data were individually validated for domestic applications. This study showed that all comparisons between observations and model results from KoFlux and KLDAS had reasonable correlation with determination coefficient of 0.73~1.00 via regression. The results confirmed the applicability of the CLM and the possibility of the KLDAS usage for the region where input data are not existed.

기후 변화로 인한 수문 환경의 변화에 따라 수문 모형을 이용한 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 수문 현상의 예측을 위하여 사용되고 있는 수문 모형인 Common Land Model(CLM)은 Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer(SVAT) 모형 중 하나로 비교적 적은 변수를 이용하여 현실적인 결과를 도출하므로 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 이에 반해 국내에서는 모형의 구동을 위한 입력 자료의 미흡으로 인해 실질적인 연구 사례가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해남의 KoFlux 지점을 대상으로 Korea Flux Network(KoFlux) 자료와 Korea Land Data Assimilation System(KLDAS) 자료를 CLM에 강제시켜 국내의 모형의 적용성에 대하여 검증하였다. KoFlux는 에디 공분산 시스템을 기반으로 지표면과 대기 사이의 Flux에 대한 측정 시스템을 운영하며 SVAT 모형의 구동을 위한 수문학적 인자들을 제공하고 있으며, KLDAS는 한반도지표동화자료체계로 위성 및 현장기반 관측 자료들을 지면모형에 적용시켜 자료동화방법을 통하여 지표 변수들을 제공하고 있다. 모형의 산출 결과는 해남 지점의 관측 자료와 비교를 통하여 CLM 모형의 적용 가능성을 검증하였고 두 결과 모두 관측 데이터와의 경향성이 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과 모두 신뢰할 만한 값으로 추정되며, 이를 통하여 국내의 CLM 모형 적용 가능성을 확인하였고, 국내에서의 지점 자료가 부족한 부분에 대한 KLDAS 자료의 이용 가능성 또한 확인하였다.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the main factor to understand the hydrologic cycle on land surfaces of entire globe. It accounts for about 65% of precipitation returning to the atmosphere. Accurate estimation of the ET is essential to many applications of water resources management, hydrology, meteorology, climatology, and agriculture. Over the past few decades, there have been extensive efforts to develop and validate a number of ET models. Priestley-Taylor (P-T) and Food and Agriculture Organization Penman-Monteith (P-M) models are generally recognized as simple, but great operational approaches to estimate ET over different land cover types. In this study, we compare/validate different models of increasing complexity, P-T, P-M, and Common Land Model (CLM) in croplands, IA.

The new conjunctive surface-subsurface flow model at a large scale was developed by using a 1-D Diffusion Wave (DW) model for surface flow interacting with the 3-D Volume Averaged Soil-moisture Transport (VAST) model for subsurface flow for the comprehensive terrestrial water and energy predictions in Land Surface Models (LSMs). A selection of numerical implementation schemes is employed for each flow component. The 3-D VAST model is implemented using a time splitting scheme applying an explicit method for lateral flow after a fully implicit method for vertical flow. The 1-D DW model is then solved by MacCormack finite difference scheme. This new conjunctive flow model is substituted for the existing 1-D hydrologic scheme in Common Land Model (CLM), one of the state-of-the-art LSMs. The new conjunctive flow model coupled to CLM is tested for a study domain around the Ohio Valley. The simulation results show that the interaction between surface flow and subsurface flow associated with the flow routing scheme matches the runoff prediction with the observations more closely in the new coupled CLM simulations. This improved terrestrial hydrologic module will be coupled to the Climate extension of the next-generation Weather Research and Forecasting (CWRF) model for advanced regional, continental, and global hydroclimatological studies and the prevention of disasters caused by climate changes.

수자원 분야에서 지표와 대기 사이의 물과 에너지 교환에 대한 해석을 위하여 다양한 수문 모형이 이용되고 있다. 이 과정은 물 순환 과정을 이해하기 위한 한 방법으로 본 연구에서는 Common Land Model (CLM)을 이용해 수문 기상학적 인자를 모의하였다. CLM은 Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) 모형 중 하나이며, 본 모형을 이용한 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 한반도를 포함한 영역에서의 참고할만한 결과가 부족한 실정이며, 국내에서의 사용 가능한 기초자료도 부족하여 모형 구동을 위해 본 연구에서는 1 km의 높은 해상도의 강제입력자료를 Weather Research Forecast (WRF) 모형을 통하여 생산하여 사용하였다. 이 자료는 관측자료 및 위성 자료 등을 이용한 자료동화방법을 통하여 산출하였으며, 이를 이용하여 낙동강 유역에 대하여 CLM의 수문 기상학적 인자들을 산정하였다. 향후 보다 넓은 범위의 연구 지역을 설정하여 국내 관측 자료와의 비교를 통해 본 자료에 대한 사용 가능성을 검증할 계획이다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 수문 모형을 이용한 아시아 지역의 높은 해상도의 수문 기상학적 인자에 대한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Climate models, both global and regional, have increased in sophistication and are being run at increasingly higher resolutions. The Land Surface Models (LSMs) coupled to these climate models have evolved from simple bucket models to sophisticated Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) schemes needed to support complex linkages and processes. However, some underpinnings of terrestrial hydrologic parameterizations so crucial in the predictions of surface water and energy fluxes cause model errors that often manifest as non-linear drifts in the dynamic response of land surface processes. This requires the improved parameterizations of key processes for the terrestrial hydrologic scheme to improve the model predictability in surface water and energy fluxes. The Common Land Model (CLM), one of state-of-the-art LSMs, is the land component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM). However, CLM also has energy and water biases resulting from deficiencies in some parameterizations related to hydrological processes. This research presents the implementation of a selected set of parameterizations and their effects on the runoff prediction. The modifications consist of new parameterizations for soil hydraulic conductivity, water table depth, frozen soil, soil water availability, and topographically controlled baseflow. The results from a set of offline simulations are compared with observed data to assess the performance of the new model. It is expected that the advanced terrestrial hydrologic scheme coupled to the current CLM can improve model predictability for better prediction of runoff that has a large impact on the surface water and energy balance crucial to climate variability and change studies.

The surface runoff is one of the important components for the surface water balance. However, most Land Surface Models(LSMs), coupled to climate models at a large scale for the prediction and prevention of disasters caused by climate changes, simplistically estimate surface runoff from the soil water budget. Ignoring the role of surface flow depth on the infiltration rate causes errors in both surface and subsurface flow calculations. Therefore, for the comprehensive terrestrial water and energy cycle predictions in LSMs, a conjunctive surface-subsurface flow model at a large scale is developed by coupling a 1-D diffusion wave model for surface flow with the 3-D Volume Averaged Soil-moisture Transport(VAST) model for subsurface flow. This paper describes the new conjunctive surface-subsurface flow formulation developed for improvement of the prediction of surface runoff and spatial distribution of soil water by topography, along with basic schemes related to the terrestrial hydrologic system in Common Land Model(CLM), one of the state-of-the-art LSMs.

According to the 4th and 5th assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global climate has been rapidly changing because of the human activities since Industrial Revolution. The perceived changes were appeared strongly in temperature and concentration of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). Global average temperature has increased about $0.74^{\circ}C$ over last 100 years (IPCC, 2007) and concentration of $CO_2$ is unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years (IPCC, 2014). These phenomena influence precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture which have an important role in hydrology, and that is the reason why there is a necessity to study climate change. In this study, Asia region was selected to simulate primary energy index from 1951 to 2100. To predict future climate change effect, Common Land Model (CLM) which is used for various fields across the world was employed. The forcing data was Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) data which is the newest greenhouse gas emission scenario published in IPCC 5th assessment. Validation of net radiation ($R_n$), sensible heat flux (H), latent heat flux (LE) for historical period was performed with 5 flux tower site-data in the region of AsiaFlux and the monthly trends of simulation results were almost equaled to observation data. The simulation results for 2006-2100 showed almost stable net radiation, slightly decreasing sensible heat flux and quite increasing latent heat flux. Especially the uptrend for RCP 8.5 has been about doubled compared to RCP 4.5 and since late 2060s, variations of net radiation and sensible heat flux would be significantly risen becoming an extreme climate condition. In a follow-up study, a simulation for energy index and hydrological index under the detailed condition will be conducted with various scenario established from this study.
