Abstract
The characteristics of air temperature, circulation and energy budget of Jinta Oasis are simulated by WRF model, which is the weather research and forecast model of NCAR. The results show that the WRF model has good quality in simulating the diurnal characteristics of surface layer temperature, wind fields, net radiation, sensible heat flux and latent flux. In addition, the model initial fields were also modified by observations of soil temperature and moisture in order to improve the simulations in this study due to important roles of the soil moisture and temperature playing in affecting the cold island effect, the wet island effect properties and surface energy budget balance over the oasis in arid area. Then, the microclimate characteristics and local thermal circulation generated by inhomogeneous underlying surface over Jinta Oasis are analyzed.
