英文摘要 | Boreal forest fires can alter the surface energy exchange due to postfire land cover change, which influences the regional climate through changes in scalar budgets within the planetary boundary layer (PBL). In this study, we estimated the changes in potential temperature and moisture budgets within the convective boundary layer (CBL) associated with postfire changes in surface energy exchange in interior Alaska. We integrated 9 years of paired eddy covariance measurements at mature evergreen and postfire young forests, radiosonde observations, and a mixed-layer slab model. The postfire increase in albedo and decreased Bowen ratio decreased the sensible heat flux and PBL height, resulting in cooling magnitudes in the CBL up to 3–5°C in spring months and smaller cooling magnitudes (0.4°C) in other months. The cooling in the CBL decreased at a rate 0.5°C yr−1 from 8 to 13 years after the fire via vegetation recovery but was still recognizable 13 years after the fire. The postfire change moistened the CBL in summer months due to the decreased PBL height and increased latent heat flux in the postfire young forest. Interactions between fire-induced surface changes and PBL dynamics should be evaluated further for understanding long-term climatic change and ecosystem responses to climate change. ©2020.
