Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to the following section at the Fall AGU meeting: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session2037.html
What's Happening Now? Continuous Sensors and the Ongoing Revolution in the Hydrologic Sciences Session ID#: 2037 Session Description: The acquisition of continuous concentration data has lagged behind the collection of continuous flow and climate data that transformed the hydrologic sciences over the last 50 years. As in situ aquatic sensors have begun to remedy this divergence in measurement time scales, they are enabling the next revolution, providing refined inferences about known processes, uncovering new ones, and highlighting rich patterns of variation that occur in response to dynamic and stochastic drivers. This session will highlight recent progress towards obtaining robust sensor measurements for ecosystem processes. We invite contributions that test general ecosystem theory, demonstrate the utility of high resolution data streams for model parameterization and validation, and explore the controls on production and retention of solutes and sediments in both natural and man-made systems.
