摘　　要：分辨率的限制使得不能被模式识别的地形称为次网格尺度地形,次网格尺度地形在热力和动力方面对实际大气有着不可忽略的作用,其效应只能通过参数化的形式回馈给模式。分辨率的提高使得与较小尺度地形相联系的地形湍流拖曳力凸显其重要性。数值模式中地形湍流拖曳力的参数化对完善模式物理过程和改善模式近地层预报效果具有积极意义,其方法包括有效粗糙度法和直接参数化法,而GRAPES模式中并未以任何方法考虑次网格尺度地形的影响。该文通过单柱模式比较了有效粗糙度法和直接参数化法的优劣,发现后者在有些方面优于前者。最后,将应用于实际的一个直接参数化方案接入GRAPES中尺度模式中,进行个例模拟,并与NCEP再分析资料进行对比,结果表明:考虑地形湍流拖曳力方案对模式预报具有改进作用,尤其对局地低层风场具有积极影响。Due to the limited model resolution, scales of topographies below the model resolution are called subgrid scale orography. Sub grid scale orography plays important roles on the atmosphere from the thermal and dynamic aspects, and these effects are fed back to the model atmosphere through parameterization. Generally, the dynamic effects of sub-grid scale orography includes： Sub grid orographic turbulent form drag caused by turbulent flow over hills; sub grid-scale form drag of orographic flow blocking, separating and lee vortex; buoyancy waves drag caused by breakdown of gravity-waves that excited by flow over mountains and transmitting upward in the upper atmosphere. With resolution raised, turbulent form drag becomes more important which is associated with small-scale orography. Given these facts, the char- acteristics and effects of the sub grid orographic turbulent form drag and its parameterization are studied. Usually, effects of the turbulent form drag due to sub grid scale orography in numerical models are simply considered as enhancing surface roughness, known as the effective roughness method. In recent years, according to asymptotic theory and numerical simulations, a new scheme of sub-grid orographic turbulent form drag is developed. As an independent physical process, the new scheme is of three-dimension features in the model, while the effective roughness method is only considered being on the surface level. It is significant to consider turbulent form drag in NWP model for completing physical processes of model and improving the model prediction of the surface layer. A single-column model is used to simulate the characteristics of turbulent form drag, comparing the advantages and disadvantages between the effective roughness method and direct parameterizing method. Two direct parameterization schemes are also compared, one is developed and applied in NWP model recently, and the other is based on ideal terrain. Finally, the form drag scheme that developed and applied in NWP model is implemented i
