The Impacts of Vapor Transport on Land-atmospheric Water & Heat Exchanges over the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon Area by Qiang ZHANG, jun WEN, yiting YANG, dongyu JIA, wenhui LIU, yaling CHEN, xuancheng LU

“…（Z98 scheme for short） has the lowest errors， the root mean square error of the near-surface sensible heat flux at the wheat station and the grassland station decreased by 18.2% and 10.9%， respectively.The results of regional simulation show that the general distribution of the near-surface latent heat flux （LE） over the YGC is high in the southeast and low in the northwest， while the near-surface sensible heat flux （H） is the opposite.As the water vapor transport intensity decreasing， the area with high near-surface latent heat flux extends to the northwest， while the near-surface sensible heat flux （H） is the opposite.The H in the high-altitude ice and snow-covered area maintains a low value， while the LE is the opposite.During the entire experimental period， the precipitation was as high as 59% over the YGC， which is abundant precipitation.The near-surface effective energy is mainly transported to the atmosphere in a form of latent heat under different horizontal water vapor transport conditions.The near-surface sensible heat transport is the weakest in the strong water vapor transport belt under the condition of strong horizontal water vapor transport.The regional daily average value of the H is only -1.80 W∙m-2 by using the Z98 scheme， while the LE is greater than 70.0 W∙m-2.When the water vapor maintains a high-value range over the Grand Canyon area， the near-surface net radiation decreases， but the near-surface net radiation is still mainly consumed by the latent heat.The warming effect of the water vapor on the local atmosphere resulted in the difference of ground-atmospheric temperature decreases， and the near-surface sensible heat is significantly inhibited.The results of this study have a certain reference value for understanding the land surface process over the YGC and its response to horizontal water vapor transport.…”
