1 Improvement of vegetation parameters for the estimation of evapotranspiration in the Midwest United States Dazhi Mao Agricultural & Biological Engineering Purdue University March 3, 7

2 Outline Introduction ET models Review of literature Current progress Things need to do

3 Introduction Vegetation controls the loss of water by evaporation and transpiration ET is the major component in water balance calculation Land-use change can alter Evapotranspiration (ET) patterns Hydrology models need adequate ET representation to make reasonable analysis

4 ET model Penman-Monteith model Jarvis-scheme stomata resistance parameterization r λe ( R G) + ρc D / r n p a + γ (1 + r / r ) a SiB, SSiB, BATS, k uz CLASS, MOSAIC, r NOAH-LSM DHSVM, l rs = and VIC all use LAIeff Jarvis-scheme model r = r f ( T ) f ( vpd) f ( PAR) f ( θ ) l = = ( ) ( ) ln zm d / zom ln zh d / zoh s min 1 3 s a

5 Current problems Little attention paid to ET estimation in the upper Midwestern U.S. region (agriculture dominated) DHSVM and VIC model share the same ET calculation scheme Need proper vegetation properties to improve model performance in agricultural regions Review of references Adjust and validate VIC model vegetation properties against time series, point and regional variability

13 Problems PET under-prediction Prairie grassland (LE) under-prediction, but H over-prediction Deciduous forest over-prediction Cropland still a little over-prediction Still need to adjust the parameters Is it necessary to run with vegetation parameters from other models?

14 Things need to do Further testing of vegetation properties Finish watershed selection Finalize parameter ranges in the VIC model Statistical analysis Regional scale application of the adjusted vegetation parameters
