Simulations of carbon dioxide push-pull into a conjugate fault system modeled after Dixie Valley—Sensitivity analysis of significant parameters and uncertainty prediction by data-worth analysis

Journal Article Lee, Kyung Jae ; Oldenburg, Curtis M. ; Doughty, Christine ; ... - Geothermics

Characterizing the faults and fractures that provide flow pathways for efficient geothermal energy production is critical for design of sustainable geothermal energy production. Both natural faults and stimulated fractures in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are difficult to image and map by seismic methods because hot brine filling the fractures and faults does not create a strong seismic property contrast relative to surrounding rock. We investigate here the technical feasibility of using supercritical CO₂ (scCO₂) injection into faults in a single-well push-pull scenario to characterize the hydraulic properties of the fault zone by emplacing scCO₂ that can serve as a contrastmore »« less

Black carbon-induced snow albedo reduction over the Tibetan Plateau: uncertainties from snow grain shape and aerosol–snow mixing state based on an updated SNICAR model

Journal Article He, Cenlin ; Flanner, Mark G. ; Chen, Fei ; ... - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Online)

We implement a set of new parameterizations into the widely used Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model to account for effects of snow grain shape (spherical vs. nonspherical) and black carbon (BC)–snow mixing state (external vs. internal). We find that nonspherical snow grains lead to higher pure albedo but weaker BC-induced albedo reductions relative to spherical snow grains, while BC–snow internal mixing significantly enhances albedo reductions relative to external mixing. The combination of snow nonsphericity and internal mixing suggests an important interactive effect on BC-induced albedo reduction. Comparisons with observations of clean and BC-contaminated snow albedo show that model simulations accountingmore »« less

A comparison of parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis techniques and their impact on the uncertainty in ground water flow model predictions

Technical Report Zimmerman, D A ; Hanson, R T ; Davis, P A

This work documents a comparison of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis techniques that are likely to be used in support of repository performance assessments to determine compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) repositories. A variety of parameter estimation and sensitivity analysis techniques were applied to a model of the Avra Valley aquifer, Arizona. Two approaches to sensitivity analyses were used, statistical and deterministic; these were applied to evaluate the sensitivity of the ground water travel time to changes in transmissivity. The effect of different boundary conditions on themore »« less
Sensitivity of Surface Flux Simulations to Hydrologic Parameters Based on an Uncertainty Quantification Framework Applied to the Community Land Model

Journal Article Hou, Zhangshuan ; Huang, Maoyi ; Leung, Lai-Yung R ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. D. (Atmospheres), 117:D15108

Uncertainties in hydrologic parameters could have significant impacts on the simulated water and energy fluxes and land surface states, which will in turn affect atmospheric processes and the carbon cycle. Quantifying such uncertainties is an important step toward better understanding and quantification of uncertainty of integrated earth system models. In this paper, we introduce an uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework to analyze sensitivity of simulated surface fluxes to selected hydrologic parameters in the Community Land Model (CLM4) through forward modeling. Thirteen flux tower footprints spanning a wide range of climate and site conditions were selected to perform sensitivity analyses by perturbingmore »« less

Parametric Sensitivity and Uncertainty Quantification in the Version 1 of E3SM Atmosphere Model Based on Short Perturbed Parameter Ensemble Simulations

Journal Article Qian, Yun ; Wan, Hui ; Yang, Ben ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

The atmospheric component of Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) version 1 (EAMv1) has included many new features in the physics parameterizations compared to its predecessors. Potential complex nonlinear interactions among the new features create a significant challenge for understanding the model behaviors and parameter tuning. Using the one-at-a-time method, the benefit of tuning one parameter may offset the benefit of tuning another parameter, or improvement in one target variable may lead to degradation in another target variable. To better understand the EAMv1 model behaviors and physics, we conducted a large number of short simulations (3 days) in which 18more »« less
