An intensive flux observation matrix experiment was conducted. New techniques, e.g., wireless sensor network, flux matrix, and airborne remote sensing, are used. The integrated observatory network is useful in land surface processes research.(#br)focus topic Critical zone research and observatories(#br)Research on land surface processes at the catchment scale has drawn much attention over the past few decades, and a number of watershed observatories have been established worldwide. The Heihe River Basin (HRB), which contains the second largest inland river in China, is an ideal natural field experimental area for investigation of land surface processes involving diverse landscapes and the coexistence of cold and arid regions. The Heihe Integrated Observatory Network was established in 2007. For long‐term observations, a hydrometeorological observatory, ecohydrological wireless sensor network, and satellite remo... %@ 1539-1663 %W CNKI
