In recent years, the climatic environment of Qinghai-Tibet plateau frozen soil regions is becoming worse and worse year by year, which mainly consists of obvious permafrost decrease, more thickness of the frost soil active layer and degeneration of the vegetation. Climatic, water and ecological environment of this region is focused by researchers from many countries and districts. The ability of land surface model is approved by lots of scientists and it is emphasis of cold regions research that how to construct cold regions land surface model. This paper choose four land surface model(SHAW、COUPMODEL、EASS、CRHM) from USA, Western Europe and Canada(including two) and analysis principle and physical mechanisms of four models. At the same time, brief introduction of application in cold regions of four models, some models have been used to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau frozen soil regions and made quite a good simulation results, is included in this paper. By comparing four models, the paper found individual advantages, disadvantages and thinks that four models can be used on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau frozen soil regions individually and it is a significant approach to solve land surface problems of Qinghai-Tibet plateau, even global frozen soil regions as several models couple each other.
