Description: Das Projekt "Lakes as components of the Tibetan Plateau climate system (LaTiCS): Internal mixing processes and lake-atmosphere interaction" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Forschungsverbund Berlin, Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei durchgeführt. Lakes of the Tibetan Plateau are the major components of the regional climate system. However, mechanisms of heat transport within the lakes and the lake-atmosphere interaction in the Tibetan Plateau remain largely unknown and limit the quantitative understanding of the contribution made by the Tibetan Plateau lake system into regional and global climate variability. The proposed project aims at (i) revealing specific features of the thermal and mixing regime of lakes on Tibetan Plateau at time scales from microturbulent to seasonal ones, and (ii) study the characteristics of energy and water cycle at the interface between atmosphere and lakes. By this, the project will provide unique information about the feedbacks and mechanisms between the thermal regime of lakes and climatic and hydrological factors in the Tibetan Plateau. The specific goals of the project are the following: (i) to understand the characteristics of the heat and mass exchange between lakes and the atmosphere, to qualify the influence factors; (ii) to estimate the thermal characteristics of lakes, their seasonal variability with respect to the heat and mass exchange at the lake-atmosphere interface; (iii) to improve and test the lake parameterization scheme applicable to conditions of the Tibetan Plateau area, and apply it into a regional atmospheric model; (iv) to investigate the feedbacks between Tibetan Plateau lakes and the atmosphere by means of coupled modeling. The outcomes of the project will provide a basis for further projections on the local water resources and regional climate conditions. To achieve the proposed goals the project will combine numerical models with field studies on the largest freshwater lake in the Yellow River source region of the Tibetan Plateau (Ngoring Lake) and the nearby salt lake (Hajiang Salt Pond). The project team joins together the leading group on lake physics from Germany with the meteorological research group from China intensively working on lakes as components of climatic system of the Tibetan Plateau, ensuring by this fundamental and interdisciplinary character of the proposed study.
