Lake Parameterizations for NWP and Climate Modeling Systems
(e.g. Ljungemir et al. 1996, Goyette et al. 2000, Tsuang et al. 2001)
• One-layer models, complete mixing down to the bottom Neglect stratification large errors in the surface temperature
• Turbulence closure models, multi-layer (finite-difference) Describe the lake thermocline better expensive computationally
A compromise between
physical realism and computational economyis required
A two layer-model with a parameterized vertical temperature structure

The Concept• Put forward by Kitaigorodskii and Miropolsky (1970) to
describe the temperature structure of the oceanic seasonal thermocline. The essence of the concept is that the temperature profile in the thermocline can be fairly accurately parameterised through a “universal” function of dimensionless depth, using the temperature difference across the thermocline, Δθ=θs(t)-θb(t), and its thickness, Δh, as appropriate scales of temperature and depth:

Schematic representation of the temperature profile in the mixed layer and in the thermocline
Here, θs(t) is the temperature of the mixed layer of depth h(t), and θb(t) is the temperature at the lake bottom, z=h+Δh.

Munk, W. H., and E. R. Anderson, 1948: Notes on a theory of the thermocline. J. Mar. Res., 7, 276-295.
… the upper layers are stirred until an almost homogeneous layer is formed, bounded beneath by a region of marked temperature gradient, the thermocline. … If the wind increases in intensity the thermocline moves downward, but the characteristic shape of the temperature-depth curve remains essentially unchanged. (Original authors' italic.)
Ertel, H., 1954: Theorie der thermischen Sprungschicht in Seen. Acta Hydrophys., Bd. 2, 151-171.
Used an analytical solution to the heat transfer equation. Found that the ratio of the depth from the upper boundary of the lake thermocline (“thermische Sprungschicht”) to the bend point of the temperature profile to the depth from the bend point to the bottom of the thermocline is constant. In other words, the shape of the temperature-depth curve in the thermocline is independent of time.

Theoretical Background
• In case of the mixed-layer deepening, dh/dt>0,
a travelling-wave type solution to the heat transfer equation has the form of it shows a good agreement with observational data
(Barenblatt 1978, Turner 1978, Shapiro 1980, Zilitinkevich et al. 1988, Zilitinkevich and Mironov 1989, Mironov 1990, Zilitinkevich and Mironov 1992, Kirillin 2001a,b).
• No theoretical explanation in case of the mixed-layer stationary state or retreat, dh/dt0.
The self-similarity at dh/dt0 is purely phenomenological.
![Page 12: Parameterization of Lakes in NWP: Description of a Lake Model and Single-Column Tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062801/5681438d550346895db00b95/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Applications
• the evolution of the mixed layer and seasonal thermocline in the ocean (Kitaigorodskii and Miropolsky 1970, Miropolsky 1970, Kitaigorodskii 1970, Kamenkovich and Kharkov 1975, Arsenyev and Felzenbaum 1977, Kharkov 1977, Filyushkin and Miropolsky 1981),
• the atmospheric convectively mixed layer capped by the temperature inversion (Deardorff 1979, Fedorovich and Mironov 1995, Mironov 1999, Pénelon et al. 2001), and
• the seasonal cycle of temperature and mixing in medium-depth fresh-water lakes (Zilitinkevich 1991, Mironov et al. 1991, Golosov et al. 1998).
A number of computationally efficient models based on the self-similar representation of the temperature profile have been developed and successfully applied to simulate
![Page 13: Parameterization of Lakes in NWP: Description of a Lake Model and Single-Column Tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062801/5681438d550346895db00b95/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Lake Model
• The evolution equations for the mean temperature of the water column, the surface temperature and the bottom temperature (based on the integral heat budgets of the mixed layer and of the thermocline) and for the mixed-layer depth (based on the TKE equation integrated over the mixed layer).
• Volumetric character of short-wave radiation heating is accounted for.
• The shape function (ζ) per se is not required (it is the shape factor Cθ =∫01(ζ)dζ
that enters the model equations).
Instead of solving partial differential equations (in z, t) for the temperature and turbulence quantities (e.g. TKE), the problems is reduced to solving ordinary differential equations for time-dependent parameters that specify the temperature profile.
As the occasion requires, to additional modules are used to describe
• the snow-ice cover,
• the interaction of the water column with bottom sediments.
Both modules are built on the same basic principle, i.e. using the assumed shape of the temperature-depth curve.

The Lake Model
• the mean temperature of the water columnobtained by means of integration of the heat transfer equation over the water column,
• the surface temperature s(t) obtained by means of integration of the heat transfer equation over the water column,
• the bottom temperature b(t) obtained by means of double integration of the heat transfer equation over the thermocline.
Instead of solving partial differential equations (in z, t) for the temperature and turbulence quantities (e.g. TKE), the problems is reduced to solving ordinary differential equations for time-dependent parameters that specify the temperature profile.

The Mixed-Layer Depth
• Convective deepening of the mixed layer is described by the entrainment equation. It incorporates the Zilitinkevich (1975) spin-up correction term that prevents an unduly fast growth of h(t) when the mixed-layer is shallow.
• During wind mixing, h(t) is computed from a relaxation-type equation, where the Zilitinkevich and Mironov (1996) multi-limit formulation is used to compute the equilibrium mixed-layer depth. It accounts for the effects of the earth’s rotation, surface buoyancy flux and static stability in the thermocline.
• The equation for h(t) account for the equilibrium depth of a convectively mixed layer, where convective motions are driven by surface cooling, whereas the volumetric radiation heating tends to arrest the mixed layer deepening (Mironov and Karlin 1989).
is computed from the TKE equation integrated over the mixed layer.

Schematic representation of the temperature profile
(a) The evolving temperature profile is characterised by five time-dependent parameters, namely, the temperature θs(t) and the depth h(t) of the mixed layer, the bottom temperature θb(t), the depth H(t) within bottom sediments penetrated by the thermal wave and the temperature θH(t) at that depth.

Conclusions
• A lake model is developed that offers a good compromise between physical realism and computational economy
• The model does not require (re-)tuning
• Single-column tests of the lake model (including the surface air layer parameterization scheme) show promising results
• Future work:
implementation and testing of the new lake model in a 3D NWP system environment
