AB: The long standing challenge that faces all hydrologists and atmospheric scientists is the spatial and temporal complexity of the land surface and the desire to have high resolution measurements of surface fluxes and various state variables. Three recent advances in sensor technology are discussed and their application in the field for improved understanding of hydrologic phenomena is presented: 1. A new generation high resolution scanning raman lidar to measure temperature and humidity simultaneously at 1 m resolution to a 500 m range along with field observations; 2. A multihop wireless sensor system (sensorscope) for hydrologic applications including over rugged alpine terrain; 3. Applications of raman optical fiber sensing of temperature along stream beds is discussed. The combination of these sensors to probe the environment is allowing smaller research teams to make rapid advances in understanding the water cycle across the landscape in regions previously not monitored at high resolution.
