Mapping regional distribution of land surface heat fluxes on the southern side of the central Himalayas using TESEBS

摘要: Recent scientific studies based on large-scale climate model have highlighted the importance of heat release from southern side Himalayas for development South Asian Summer Monsoon. However, related to land surface fluxes are nonexistent side. In this study, we test feasibility deriving central Himalayan region using Topographically Enhanced Surface Energy Balance System (TESEBS), which is forced by MODIS products and Global Land Data Assimilation (GLDAS) meteorological data. The results were validated first eddy covariance measurement system established in Himalayas. derived close field measurements with mean bias 15.97, −19.89, 8.79, −20.39 W m−2 net radiation flux, ground sensible latent flux respectively. show strong contrast pre monsoon, summer post winter seasons different states among physiographic regions. Himalayas, dominant consumer available energy all regions except High Himalaya where high.
