2085平方公里的约旦河流域及其七个子流域,位于犹他湖城以东的中央瓦萨奇山脉,是一系列水文,大气,气候和化学研究基础设施的所在地,共同形成了瓦萨奇环境观测站(WEO)。WEO在地理上嵌套在荒地到城市土地利用梯度中,并建立在超过世纪的排放和气候记录的坚实基础上。海拔2200米的梯度导致降水、温度和植被模式的变化。土壤和地下结构反映了地质系统的变化,从花岗岩,侵入混合沉积碎屑跨越源头集水区,所有排水的冲积或崩积沉积物的前邦纳维尔湖。冬季降雪和春季融雪控制着每年的水文气候,人口的快速增长主导着低海拔地区的地理变化,城市气体和颗粒物的排放导致了这个封闭盆地的严重空气污染。对这一多样化景观的长期水文气候观测为山地和城市景观中不断扩大的基础设施网络奠定了基础。目前的基础设施支持大气化学、地球化学、气候、生态、水文、气象、资源管理和城市重新设计方面的基础和应用研究,并通过与合作机构建立强有力的伙伴关系而得到加强。这些特点使WEO成为一个独特的自然实验室,用于解决在快速变化的世界中季节性积雪覆盖的半干旱地区面临的研究问题,以及提供学生教育和研究培训的优秀设施。
The 2085 km2Jordan River Basin, and its seven sub‐catchments draining the Central Wasatch Range immediately east of Salt Lake City, UT, are home to an array of hydrologic, atmospheric, climatic and chemical research infrastructure that collectively forms the Wasatch Environmental Observatory (WEO). WEO is geographically nested within a wildland to urban land‐use gradient and built upon a strong foundation of over a century of discharge and climate records. A 2200 m gradient in elevation results in variable precipitation, temperature and vegetation patterns. Soil and subsurface structure reflect systematic variation in geology from granitic, intrusive to mixed sedimentary clastic across headwater catchments, all draining to the alluvial or colluvial sediments of the former Lake Bonneville. Winter snowfall and spring snowmelt control annual hydroclimate, rapid population growth dominates geographic change in lower elevations and urban gas and particle emissions contribute to episodes of severe air pollution in this closed‐basin. Long‐term hydroclimate observations across this diverse landscape provide the foundation for an expanding network of infrastructure in both montane and urban landscapes. Current infrastructure supports both basic and applied research in atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemistry, climate, ecology, hydrology, meteorology, resource management and urban redesign that is augmented through strong partnerships with cooperating agencies. These features allow WEO to serve as a unique natural laboratory for addressing research questions facing seasonally snow‐covered, semi‐arid regions in a rapidly changing world and an excellent facility for providing student education and research training.
