Introduction Motivation TWDEF area has been research site for many researchers Substantial investement in research instruments My research site Objective To establish a connection of all the information regarding instrumentations with available data and topographical and geographical feature of the TWFDEF area to the geographical information system. Plans Data Collection Collection of the information regarding the infrastructures, instrumentation and other important information Delineation of the extent of the TWDEF area Preparation of the site, location and regional map for the TWDEF Export into into the Google earth.

Introduction grasses ,sagebrush Location: TWDaniel Experimental Forest Utah (41.860N, 111.500W) 30km N-E of Logan 2600m elevation 0.25 km2 area Climatic condition Av. annual Prep.= 950mm(80% snow) Av. monthly low temp.= -100c Av.monthly high temp.= 14.50c Forest= Aspen and Conifer Non Forest= Open midow with grasses ,sagebrush

Introduction

Data Collection Data collected from Internet DEM National Hydrography data set Orthographic map Topographic map Access information (Road) County’s boundaries Data collected from Other sources GPS data for the position of the instruments Data for the boundary of the area GPS data for the road inside the boundary Data of the cables GPS data for the position of the other structures e.g. cabin, old precipitation station etc. Hydrological data
