Hydrologic Investigations within GLOBE Program

为响应《关于全球学习和观察有益于环境方案的机会的公告》，该项目旨在实现全球学习和观察有益于环境方案的目标，即在全球信息网络中将科学家和学童联系起来，最终目的是更好地了解地球环境及其内部发生的变化。支持现有的协议，开发新的协议，以及使用地球仪数据进行科学研究。 该提案将支持目前的地球仪水文和降雪协议，加强元数据提交标准，并对融雪径流、气候变异和土地利用变化引起的pH值和碱度的季节性变化进行研究。 还将对关于水透明度的遥感数据进行校准和验证。 该建议还将支持编写教育材料，其中将包括地球系统科学背景下的水文学。 科学家、学生和公众将能够更好地了解水在生态系统中的作用，以及它们在保护自然资源方面的作用。

In response to an Announcement of Opportunity for the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment Program (GLOBE) this project is designed to meet GLOBE goals and objectives of linking scientists and schoolchildren in a global information network with the ultimate goal of better understanding Earth's environment and changes that take place within it. This proposal consists of various segments addressing GLOBE Program needs: support for existing protocols, development of new protocols, and scientific research with GLOBE data. This proposal will support the current set of GLOBE hydrology and snow protocols, strengthen the metadata submission standards, and carry out research in seasonal variation in pH and alkalinity due to snowmelt runoff, climate variability, and land use change. Calibration and validation of remotely sensed data on water transparency will also be pursued. This proposal will also support the development of materials for education that will include hydrology in the context of Earth Systems Science. Scientists, students, and the general public will be able to better understand the role of water in ecosystems and their role in the care of our natural resources.
