ABSTRACT:

Yearly effective energy and mass transfer (EEMT) (MJ m−2 yr−1) was calculated for the Valles Calders, upper part of the Jemez River basin by summing the 12 monthly values. Effective energy and mass flux varies seasonally, especially in the desert southwestern United States where contemporary climate includes a bimodal precipitation distribution that concentrates in winter (rain or snow depending on elevation) and summer monsoon periods. This seasonality of EEMT flux into the upper soil surface can be estimated by calculating EEMT on a monthly basis as constrained by solar radiation (Rs), temperature (T), precipitation (PPT), and the vapor pressure deficit (VPD): EEMT = f(Rs,T,PPT,VPD). Here we used a multiple linear regression model to calculate the monthly EEMT that accounts for VPD, PPT, and locally modified T across the terrain surface. These EEMT calculations were made using data from the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University (www.prismclimate.org). Climate data are provided at an 800-m spatial resolution for input precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature normals and at a 4000-m spatial resolution for dew-point temperature (Daly et al., 2002). The PRISM climate data, however, do not account for localized variation in EEMT that results from smaller spatial scale changes in slope and aspect as occurs within catchments. To address this issue, these data were then combined with 10-m digital elevation maps to compute the effects of local slope and aspect on incoming solar radiation and hence locally modified temperature (Yang et al., 2007). Monthly average dew-point temperatures were computed using 10 yr of monthly data (2000–2009) and converted to vapor pressure. Precipitation, temperature, and dew-point data were resampled on a 10-m grid using spline interpolation. Monthly solar radiation data (direct and diffuse) were computed using ArcGIS Solar Analyst extension (ESRI, Redlands, CA) and 10-m elevation data (USGS National Elevation Dataset [NED] 1/3 Arc-Second downloaded from the National Map Seamless Server at seamless.usgs.gov). Locally modified temperature was used to compute the saturated vapor pressure, and the local VPD was estimated as the difference between the saturated and actual vapor pressures. The regression model was derived using the ISOHYS climate data set comprised of approximately 30-yr average monthly means for more than 300 weather stations spanning all latitudes and longitudes (IAEA).

Pressure is measured using Onset Hobo pressure transducers model U20 placed at the soil bedrock interface in vertical plastic tubes that were drilled into the soil.

ABSTRACT:

Soil moisture data measured in various depths at 11 different pits located in the Marshall Gulch catchment (high elevation site in the Santa Catalina Mountains). 3 pits are located at the granite site and 8 pits at the schist site. Volumetric water content is measured by EC-20 Soil Moisture Smart Sensor S-SMA-M005 and recorded every 30 minutes.

ABSTRACT:

Stream water grab samples were collected weekly and twice weekly during monsoon season from 3 locations within each field site; Marshall Gulch (G OUT, S OUT, WEIR, S SEEP and MRG3), Oracle Ridge (ORLOW, ORMID, ORUP), and B2 Desert (B2D-GIN, B2D-GOUT, B2D-CDO, B2D WEIR). Marshall Gulch samples date back to 2006 while Oracle Ridge and B2 Desert sites samples date back to 2010. Discharge was measured at the outlets of the Marshall Gulch and Oracle Ridge sites where rating curves were developed using the salt dilution method. Temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were measured in the field starting in 2012 and prior to that pH and EC were measured in the laboratory. Water samples were analyzed in PI laboratories at the University of Arizona for anions (by IC), cations (by ICPOES and ICPMS), dissolved organic and inorganic carbon and total nitrogen (by acidification and combustion on a Schimadzu DOC/TN Analyzer), stable water isotopes (on a Los Gatos Cavity Ring Down Spectrometer), and nutrients (NH4-N and Orthophosphate on a Discrete Analyzer). Selected water samples were analyzed for carbon stable isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon (by IRMS).

ABSTRACT:

Soil solution samples in the SCM field sites are collected with three types of soil solution samples: i) Prenart Super Quartz suction cups (www.prenart.dk) and ii) SoilMoisture suction cups (SoilMoisture Equipment Corp., Santa Barbara, CA) and iii) custom made zero-tension sampler (Hinckley et al., 2008). Prenart suction cups are optimized for all chemistry analyses and were installed without addition of Si-slurry to allow for artifact-free Si analyses. Applied suction for each Prenart is ~ 50kPa and SoilMoisture suction cups are sampled with a suction of 70-80kpa. Both suction cup types are optimized for all chemistry analyses with the exception of dissolved organic matter in the case of the SoilMoisture ones (due to potential sorption of DOM on the porous ceramic material). Zero-tension samplers are optimized for water flux determination at saturated flow and sampling for various chemistry analyses. In Marshall Gulch there are 8 SoilMoisture suction cups in the schist site and 7 in the granite site in both convergent and divergent landscape positions. These soil solution samplers are co-located with piezometers measuring water table depth within the soil profile. In the Oracle Ridge site there are 8 pits each equipped with 2 Prenarts and 1 SoilMoisture ceramic cup lysimeter. These samplers are co-located with Decagon Em5b data loggers with EC-5 soil moisture sensors and ECT soil temperature sensors. The B2 Desert site Schist and a Granite sites are both equipped with 7 zero-tension samplers (Hinckley et al., 2008) in both divergent and convergent landscape positions as well one SoilMoisture ceramic cup lysimeter. These samplers are co-located with Decagon Em5b data loggers with EC-5 soil moisture sensors and ECT soil temperature sensors.

ABSTRACT:

Meteorological data collected at the Schist and Granite catchments include air temperature and relative humidity and net radiation. Net radiation data have been collected at a 10 s interval and averaged to 30 min using a CR1000 datalogger. Separate datalogger and locations have been used to measure temperature/relative humidity, net radiation at both the Schist and Granite catchments.

ABSTRACT:

Soil solution samples in the JRB field sites are collected with two types of soil solution samples: i) Prenart Super Quartz suction cups (www.prenart.dk). Prenart suction cups are optimized for all chemistry analyses and were installed without addition of Si-slurry to allow for artifact-free Si analyses. Applied suction for each Prenart is ~ 60kPa. ii) Custom made, fiberglass wick-based passive capillary wick samplers (PCaps, Perdrial et al. 2012). PCaps are optimized for water flux determination and sampling for organic carbon, most anions and metals. PCap samples should however not be used for major cations (Na, Mg, Si, K, Ca) and dissolved inorganic carbon because of artifacts from the fiberglass materials (see Perdrial et al in prep. For a complete list). Passive suction, based on the length of the hanging water column, is ~3 kPa. Soil solution samplers were installed in each of six pits in the Mixed Conifer Zero Order Basin (MC-ZOB) and the fire impacted site (burn ZOB) at 3 (PCaps) and 4 (Prenarts) depth, respectively. Pit locations were selected to capture differences in catchment aspect (MC-ZOB SE facing: Pit 3 and 4, NW facing: Pit 1 and 6), landscape position (MC-ZOB: hollow Pit 2 and 5, planar Pit 1 and 6, divergent Pit 3, convergent Pit 4), elevation and burn severity (co-varying in Burn ZOB: low Pit 1 and 2, mid Pit 3, high Pit 4 to 6). All samplers are collocated with Decagon soil moisture and temperature probes.

ABSTRACT:

Stream water grab samples were collected weekly to monthly from 8 flumes located around Redondo Peak: Lower and Upper La Jara, History Grove, Upper Jaramillo, Lower Jaramillo, Upper Redondo, and Lower Redondo Creeks, Redondo Meadow and Mixed Conifer ZOB outlet. Some samples were sporadically collected from springs and major streams and their tributaries around Redondo Peak. Temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were measured in the field. Water samples were analyzed in PI laboratories at the University of Arizona for anions, cations, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon and total nitrogen, stable water isotopes, alkalinity, and nutrients (NH4-N and Orthophosphate). Select water samples were analyzed for carbon stable isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon.

ABSTRACT:

Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) datasets were collected for various projects pursued by the University of Arizona Critical Zone Observatory located in the Jemez River Basin within the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Three locations were TLS surveyed a total of four times over the course of two years. The locations are the Debris1 alluvial fan, Debris2 alluvial fan, and the BurnZOB small upland basin. The four surveys were completed after the Las Conchas fire in the summer of 2011. The approximate dates for each scan were 8/19/11, 6/4/12, 9/22/12, and 5/14/13.

All TLS data was collected using a Leica C10 scanner set up in the field by Jon Pelletier and Caitlin Orem. All scans were scanned for both points (on the medium scan setting) and photographs (meaning pictures were taken to then extrapolate RGB data from for each point). GPS data was collected in the field with a Leica Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) unit. At each scan station at least three permanently located targets were scanned so all scans at a study site could be registered to one point cloud. At least three targets at each study site were surveyed with Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) receivers until a temporary accuracy reading of less than 0.01 m was reached in each of the four cardinal directions.

All scans for each individual survey were uploaded to Leica Cyclone so scans could be registered together into one point cloud. GPS data for the base station was processed in Leica Geo Office and imported into Cyclone to georeference the point cloud. Data was then exported from Cyclone in .pts format (columns of x, y, z, intensity, r, g, b). Cloud Compare software was used to take the .pts file to .las.

Horizontal coordinate system is UTM 13N WGS84 METERS.

Vertical coordinate system is NAVD88.

ABSTRACT:

Yearly topographically modified effective energy and mass transfer (EEMT-topo) (MJ m−2 yr−1) was calculated for the Valles Caldera, upper part of the Jemez River basin by summing the 12 monthly values. Effective energy and mass flux varies seasonally, especially in the desert southwestern United States where contemporary climate includes a bimodal precipitation distribution that concentrates in winter (rain or snow depending on elevation) and summer monsoon periods. This seasonality of EEMT-topo can be estimated by calculating monthly values using topographic variations of solar radiation, temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration and surface wetting as described by Rasmussen et al. (2015). The following datasets were used to compute EEMT-topo: the precipitation climatology (1981-2010) data from the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State Universityat an 800-m spatial resolution; the Jemez River Basin 2010 LiDARbased DEM dataset was up-scaled to 10 m DEM; the local meteorological data (Temperature, RH, Wind Speed and Pressure) downloaded for the Valles Caldera National Preserve Climate Stationsfrom 2003 to 2012; 2011 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) multispectral (4-band) images for the Valles Caldera downloaded from the USGS Seamless Data Distribution; and MODIS Albedo 16-Day L3 Global 500m data (MCD43A3) obtained from theLand Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC).

ABSTRACT:

Precipitation samples were collected at 3 locations within each field site ( B2 Desert, Marshall Gulch and Oracle Ridge) on a weekly to twice weekly basis depending on precipitation events. Additionally an ISCO was installed in Marshall Gulch to collect daily snowmelt samples for stable water isotopes. Precipitation samples were analyzed in PI laboratories at the University of Arizona for anions (by IC), cations (by ICPOES and ICPMS), dissolved organic and inorganic carbon and total nitrogen (by acidification and combustion on a Schimadzu DOC/TN Analyzer), stable water isotopes (on a Los Gatos Cavity Ring Down Spectrometer), and nutrients (NH4-N and Orthophosphate on a Discrete Analyzer). Selected samples were analyzed for carbon stable isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon (by IRMS). pH and conductivity on precipitation samples was measured in the laboratory.

Shallow well depths are 2.36, 2.34 and 3.63 m below ground surface for low, middle and high elevation wells, respectively. The low and middle wells are instrumented with non-vented In-Situ Level TROLL 300 and high well with vented In-Situ Level TROLL 500. The MC ZOB weather station atmospheric pressure is used to correct pressure measured by non-vented TROLL data loggers.

ABSTRACT:

Groundwater samples were collected weekly to monthly from eight monitoring wells located on the south-west (wells 1A and 2B), south-east (wells 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D) facing slopes and above the zero order basin (ZOB) outlet (wells 3A and 3B). Well depths are 42, 38, 46, 38, 31, 7, 18 and 13 m below ground surface for Well 1A, Well 1B, Well 2A, Well 2B, Well 2C, Well 2D, Well 3A and Well 3B, respectively. Water samples were analyzed in the University of Arizona laboratories for pH, electrical conductivity, oxygen, anions, cations, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, total nitrogen, stable isotopes and nutrients.

ABSTRACT:

Groundwater table is monitored with three shallow wells located in the 2011 Burned ZOB at the low elevation (Burn_Piez3), middle elevation (Burn_Piez2) and highest elevation (Burn_Piez1). Shallow well depths are 2.34, 1.75 and 3.2 m below ground surface for low, middle and highest elevation wells, respectively. The low and middle wells are instrumented with vented In-Situ Level TROLL 500 and highest well with non-vented In-Situ Level TROLL 300. Atmospheric pressure measured by the 2011 Burned ZOB lowest weather station is used to correct pressure measured by non-vented TROLL data loggers.

ABSTRACT:

Above ground biomass and canopy height were derived from the 2010 Jemez River Basin Snow-off LiDAR dataset. This dataset contains mean canopy height estimated in meters and above ground biomass estimated in Mega grams (ton) per pixel at the resolution of 10 m, and above ground biomass for three catchment (La Jara, History Grove and upper Jaramillo) estimated in Mega grams (ton) per hectare.
