To understand the effect of the Tibetan Plateau on the seasonal and interannual variation of the Asian summer monsoon, the spatial and temporal variation of land surface soil moisture and its effects on spatially averaged fluxes from land surface to atmosphere should be estimated correctly by using models. In this study, the characteristics of the surface soil moisture distributions on the Tibetan Plateau are introduced based on the observational data obtained as one of field activities of the GAME-Tibet project. To express distribution of surface moisture in permafrost regions, an 1D energy and water flow model including surface water storage function is proposed and applied for the simulation of the effect of the surface water storage on surface moisture by using the observed atmospheric forcing data.
