Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to distributed cloud database management technology, remote sensing big data processing technology, observation data integration technology, geographic information system technology, land surface process model technology, data assimilation technology, and data product display technology. Specifically, the present invention uses distributed cloud database management technology, remote sensing big data processing technology, observation data integration technology, and geographic information system technology to simulate, assimilate, and evaluate land surface process models and output simulation results according to user needs. Background Art

[0002] Land surface process models are an important method for studying the mechanisms of physical and biochemical processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and land surface, as well as the laws of energy and material transfer between them. They play an irreplaceable and important role in simulating energy distribution in the climate system, material circulation in ecosystems, surface and underground runoff, and soil moisture evolution. They are of great significance for modeling and parameterizing various components of land surface processes such as land-air flux, land surface hydrological processes, land surface ecological processes, and soil freeze-thaw process models, and have important applications in the fields of ecological environment, soil physics, hydrology, and global change.

[0003] Land surface process model simulation requires atmospheric forcing data, soil and vegetation attribute data, land use data, human activity data, surface parameter data and other data. On the one hand, these data are currently distributed on various websites. On the other hand, the required data volume is large and the data types are relatively complex. When simulating different areas, a large amount of relevant data needs to be downloaded, which causes great inconvenience to the land surface process model simulation. More importantly, there is a lack of an effective evaluation platform between the simulation results of different land surface process models, which seriously limits the development and application of land surface process models. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive platform for land surface process model simulation and evaluation.

[0004] At present, various cloud platforms have provided great convenience for the calculation, networking and storage of the exponentially growing massive earth big data. Users can complete complex calculations and modeling without downloading the original data, providing a powerful tool for the study of earth system science. With the help of earth observation data on cloud platforms, the advantages of ground observation products and land surface model simulation are organically combined through land surface data assimilation methods, laying a methodological foundation for effectively improving the simulation accuracy of land surface process models. However, there are currently no land surface process models running on cloud platforms, which seriously lags behind the rapidly developing cloud platforms. This is very unfavorable for the effective use of earth big data, the full realization of the application potential of land surface process models, the comprehensive evaluation of land surface process models, and the overall study of earth system science under climate change.

[0005] In order to improve the comprehensive performance of cloud computing, modeling, and verification of land surface process models, a cloud solution and system for simulating, assimilating, and evaluating land surface process models are invented using cloud platform interconnection technology.
