2 Outline Background Model principle Motivation Experiental design Model odification Preliinary results Future work 2

3 Background Models for wind ixing and stratification of lakes have included integral energy odels (Mironov 2005, 2008, 2010), turbulent diffusion based odels (Hostetler 1990, 1993, 1994; Subin 2012) and turbulent closure odels (Goudsit 2002; Peeters 2002; JOHNK 2005). Surface energy and radiation balance odule is critical to surface flux calculation and lake body energy distribution. Especially surface flux calculation is relied on robust siulation of surface teperature. Vertical turbulent ixing is an iportant role in lakes, Production of TKE by wind shear (forced convection) and an unstable density stratification is produced in the water colun (natural convection) are two ain drivers. 3

6 Motivation CLM4-LISSS odel does integrated preparation on conservation of surface energy and surface flux calculation, Dose this odel perfor better in this respect? k-ε odel owns heat transfer equation and TKE equation, how about the turbulent diffusivity siulation results copared with CLM4-LISSS odel? Find out the distribution of surface eddy diffusivity (K e ) in different season and different weather condition. The diurnal variation of K e? which eteorological factor affect variation of K e? 6

24 Suary Both CLM4-LISSS odel and k-ε odel have been applied in Lake Taihu, CLM4-LISSS odel have better perforance in siulation of surface teperature and surface energy flux. Two odels have siilar siulation trend on turbulent diffusivity. But there exists agnitude difference of vertical turbulent diffusivity and difference expend with depth. Wind variation sees to be leading factor of turbulent kinetic energy distribution. 24

25 Future work It is still doubtful that the result of spring and winter s predicted water teperature, turbulent kinetic energy and the agnitude of vertical turbulent diffusivity. Ai to quantify the contribution of turbulent kinetic energy distribution. Try to establish lake surface flux dataset based on BCC_AGCM s future scenarios cliate data and verify it. 25
