COSMOS use at the Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory 3 rd Annual COSMOS Workshop Matthew Meadows Sierra Nevada Research Institute University of California Merced

Critical Zone Observatories

CZO Common Infrastructure With the goal to: resolve the evolution and formation of the CZ and its attributes measure the properties and structure of the present-day CZ construct carbon, mass and energy balances (event- to long-time scales)Energy

Southern Sierra CZO

Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) soil moisture measurements: cosmic-ray time domain reflectometry (TDR) dielectric neutron probe physical sampling techniques.

Installation and Survey

Hiking the COSMOS sensor into P301.

Volumetric Water Content

Recalibrated

Effective soil depth

Snow depth

Snow depth variability

Dealing with snow

Soil water estimates, 0-30 cm

Correlation of COSMOS VWC with distributed sensor network during no-snow conditions

The Future Easy to deploy – Elevations, aspects, sets of sensors Soil moisture and vegetation – Timing of moisture stress – Evapotranspiration Snow and/or snow+soil storage

Common CZO Infrastructure Fluxes within and across the critical zone boundaries – vegetation-atmospheric – terrestrial-aquatic – soil-atmospheric – soil-plant – bedrock-soil
