Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of numerical simulation of sand and dust, and particularly relates to a method for constructing a parameterized scheme for sand or dust generation that takes into account biological soil crusting. Background Technology

[0002] Dust is a significant component of aerosols. During its transport, it scatters solar radiation and absorbs long-wave radiation, affecting the optical properties of the atmosphere and indirectly altering cloud properties and precipitation rates through aerosol-cloud interactions. Dust contains nutrients and organic matter from its source region, which, upon deposition, enhance the productivity of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, thereby altering regional and global biogeochemical cycles. When dust settles on snow and glacier surfaces, it enhances the absorption of solar radiation, accelerating snowmelt and impacting freshwater supply and alpine vegetation phenology. Dust transport near the Earth's surface increases particulate matter concentration, causing air pollution and reducing visibility. Dust lifted to a certain height is easily transported over long distances, affecting air quality in transport corridors. Dust can also impact human health by carrying pathogens, triggering respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

[0003] Biocrusts are photosynthetic autotrophic communities composed of cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses, coexisting with heterotrophic bacteria, archaea, and fungi on the surface of arid soils, forming a crust layer. Within the top few millimeters of the soil, biocrusts protect the soil surface by binding soil particles together through their rhizomes and hyphae. Many organisms that form biocrusts secrete extracellular polymers composed of amino acids, polysaccharides, and other carbohydrates, creating a robust binding layer that enhances the soil's resistance to erosion. Current dust storm forecasting models do not consider the impact of biocrusts on the dust storm process. Dynamically incorporating biocrust information into dust storm / sand storm parameterization schemes is crucial for improving the accuracy of dust storm / sand storm simulations.

The intersection of the biological distribution area and the suitable biological habitat area is used to obtain the crust distribution area. The specific steps are as follows:

[0040] S101. Based on the survey sampling in the study area, the maximum entropy model is modeled according to the surface biological survey data and the environmental climate data of the survey sampling points;

[0041] S102. Based on the maximum entropy model, and according to the environmental information of the study area, a suitable biota containing cyanobacteria, lichens and mosses is obtained.

[0042] S103. Based on satellite remote sensing data of the study area, the distribution area of ​​organisms including cyanobacteria, lichens and mosses is obtained by calculating the crust index. The intersection of the distribution area and the suitable habitat area is then used to obtain the crust distribution area.

[0043] In this embodiment, a survey and sampling were conducted in the study area.

Based on the maximum entropy model and the environmental information of the study area, suitable habitats for three organisms, namely cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses, were obtained respectively.

[0044] Based on satellite remote sensing data, the distribution areas of three organisms—cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses—were obtained by calculating the crust index.

[0045] The calculation of the crust index specifically involves crust inversion, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0046] The cyanobacterial crust was inverted, and the crust index (CI) was calculated. When the CI value was between 0.625 and 0.725, the surface cover could be identified as cyanobacterial crust. The calculation formula is as follows:

This indicates the reflectivity of band 5RE1, which refers to the fifth sub-band of red-edge band 1, i.e., the wavelength of 750mm.

[0055] The distribution areas of the three organisms were intersected with their suitable habitats to obtain the crust distribution areas of the three organisms that simultaneously satisfy environmental information prediction and satellite remote sensing data calculation.

[0058] In this embodiment, the study area is divided into multiple grids. The soil crust coverage rate of the three organisms, including cyanobacteria, lichens and mosses, can be obtained by dividing the area occupied by the three organisms in each grid by the area of ​​the entire grid.

[0059] S3. Based on wind tunnel experiments, the response relationship between biocrust coverage and the critical frictional wind speed growth rate is constructed, the calculation formula for the critical frictional wind speed growth rate is obtained, and the critical frictional wind speed growth rate is calculated according to the biocrust coverage of preset types in the grid, specifically:

[0060] Based on wind tunnel experiments, by obtaining the critical friction wind speed under preset types of soil crust coverage, the response relationship between biological soil crust coverage and the critical friction wind speed growth rate is constructed, and the calculation formula of the critical friction wind speed growth rate under different biological conditions is obtained.

[0061] The study area was divided into grids, and the critical frictional wind speed growth rate was calculated by combining the soil crust coverage rate of preset types of organisms in each grid.

[0062] In this embodiment, wind tunnel experiments were conducted to measure the critical frictional wind speed of samples with different biocrust coverage rates. This critical frictional wind speed was compared with the frictional wind speed measured under bare soil conditions to obtain the growth rate of the critical frictional wind speed. This yielded the critical frictional wind speed under different biocrust coverage rates, and a response relationship between biocrust coverage and the growth rate of the critical frictional wind speed was constructed. The calculation formula for the growth rate of the critical frictional wind speed is shown below:

[0063] ;

[0064] in, This represents the growth rate of critical frictional wind speed, indicating the rate of increase in critical frictional wind speed as the biocrust cover changes. Indicates the coverage of biological soil crust. The rate constant representing the change in critical frictional wind speed with increasing biocrust coverage is obtained through wind tunnel experiments. and The value is determined by the current organism.

[0066] S401. Based on the critical frictional wind speed and frictional wind speed in each grid, construct the soil crust dust emission formula.

[0067] S402. Based on the critical frictional wind speed growth rate, the dust emission amount is calculated using the soil crust dust emission formula, and the parameterization scheme for dust or sand generation is constructed.

[0068] In this embodiment, based on the MB (Marticorena-Bergametti) dust initiation scheme, the critical frictional wind speed growth rate is introduced according to the critical frictional wind speed and frictional wind speed in each grid, and the dust emission formula in the MB (Marticorena-Bergametti) dust initiation scheme is improved to construct the soil crust dust emission formula, the expression of which is as follows:

[0072] Based on the critical frictional wind speed growth rate, the dust emission amount was calculated using the soil crust dust emission formula, thus completing the construction of a parameterized scheme for sand or dust generation.

[0073] This embodiment uses the critical frictional wind speed corrected for biological soil crust coverage to calculate dust emissions, thereby improving calculation accuracy.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the critical frictional wind speed was optimized based on the biocrust coverage, and the atmospheric particulate matter concentration was further simulated. For a dust storm event in the experimental area in early April 2023, the daily average PM10 concentration monitoring values ​​of three monitoring points on April 4, 2023 were extracted and compared with the predicted values ​​without considering the surface crust and the predicted values ​​considering the surface crust. The predicted values ​​are shown in Table 1.

[0075] Table 1

[0076]

[0077] As shown in Table 1, the predicted daily average PM10 concentration considering the action of biocrust is closer to the monitoring value than the predicted value without considering the action of biocrust. Practice has proven that for plots with crust, the parameterization scheme construction method of the present invention is more accurate and reliable than the parameterization scheme construction method for sand or dust generation without considering biocrust.

[0078] Furthermore, practical applications are based on remote sensing data inversion results, which do not require a large amount of on-site measurement work. With sufficient computing power, it can also optimize the dust source particulate matter emission inventory and more accurately predict atmospheric particulate matter concentration.
