1 Principles of soil water and heat transfer in JULES Anne Verhoef 1, Pier Luigi Vidale 2, Raquel Garcia- Gonzalez 1,2, and Marie-Estelle Demory 2 1. Soil Research Centre, Reading (UK); 2. NCAS-Climate, Reading (UK) 1
2 Overview of presentation Summary of theory Calculation of water and heat flow Parameterisation of water retention curve Parameterisation of thermal soil properties Importance of texture maps Examples of some research in this area 2
3 JULES Schematic Schematic of JULES model (Blyth et al.; 2006)
4 JULES Soil hydrology and thermodynamics Within-soil transfer R n LE G H Ψ 2 Ψ 3 T 2 T 3 Ψ 4 T 4 Layers (1-4): 0.10, 0.25, 0.65, 2.0 m W = K ψ z +1 G = λ T z Plus advective heat transfer 4
5 How does JULES simulate soil hydrology and heat transfer? M = ρ w zθ s S u + S { f } W = K ψ z +1 Darcy s law surface E n n layer W n-1 Capillary capacity W n dm n dt = W n 1 W n E n (as in JULES documentation) (standard Richard s equation) Some models consider coupled heatand water movement in the soil Diffusive flux, Fourier s law Advective flux Apparent volumetric heat capacity 5
6 Recent addition of vapourtransport.. Due to soil water potential (isothermal) and thermal gradients Isothermal vapour conductivity Thermal vapour diffusivity C A T n t = z λ n T n z + ρ w LD ψ,v,n ψ n z c W T n w z These gradients will induce soil moisture transport and affect soil moisture distribution, which in turn will affect heat flow Milly, et. 1982,
