| 英文摘要 | Presented here is the numerical study of impact of extended desertification of the Thar desert (a data scarce arid region), on the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) meteorology using a robust state-of-the-art ICTP - regional climate model (RCM) RegCMv4.4.5.10 coupled with Biosphere - Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) land surface scheme. Firstly, the evolution of ISM precipitation, mean temperature and soil moisture during June to September 2001-2010 is verified using Emanuel over land and Grell over ocean with Arakawa and Schubert (1974) closure, in combination with the two planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization schemes, Holtslag and University of Washington - UW Turbulence closure model for PBL. Then the feedback due to extended desertification between land surface and PBL, during ISM regime is studied. The RCM simulations with Emanuel over land and Grell over ocean with Arakawa and Schubert (1974) closure in combination with UW PBL scheme, is able to properly simulate the rainfall, mean temperature JJAS climatology with bias in rainfall similar to 2 mm/day and bias in mean temperature is similar to 0.5-1 degrees C over the monsoon core region. Numerical experiments (control and design experiment) with the above mentioned combination of PBL schemes is performed for investigating the impact of extended desertification on the changes in the ISM precipitation, surface fluxes, circulation pattern, moisture fluxes and net radiation etc. In the extended desert design experiment, the land-use pattern in the model over Thar Desert (i.e. northwestern part of Indian sub-continent between Pakistan and northwestern India) is changed from crop/mixed farming and semi-desert to desert/semi-desert type of vegetation, mimicking extended desertification in the RegCMv4.4.5.10 model. Results show that due to increase in desertification over Thar deserts there is increase in albedo resulting from a decrease in plant cover, along with formation of anomalous anti-cyclonic circulation causes a decrease in JJAS rainfall (p < 0.01) over north, north-west India by -1 to -2 mm/day (similar to 25% reduction). Anomalous anti-cyclonic circulation over the Indian land mass in the extended desertification experiment causes less convective heating and is responsible for the decrease in precipitation (with respect to control experiment). The anomalous anti-cyclonic circulation developed covers northern part of Bay of Bengal resulting in decrease in moisture advection of the order of -12 to -18 kgm(-1)sec(-1) (similar to 10% reduction). This drives away all moisture from the nearby regions. The effect of extended desertification induced feedbacks on variability and dominant modes of variability of Indian monsoon precipitation and soil wetness is also studied and reported. Finally, it is concluded that the relative magnitudes of the changes in albedo and vegetation (or vegetation roughness length) are important determinants of the size of climate change due to prescribed extended desert landscape over Thar desert region of Indian subcontinent. The results of this numerical study provides a basis and reference study for LULCC and mitigation measure human beings need to undertake for climate change adaptation. |
