Mountain Meteorology Lab (MTMET)

Research facility located at the eastern edge of the University of Utah campus, near the urban-wildland interface of Red Butte Canyon. Air quality and meteorology sensors are deployed, tested, maintained and evaluated here for research and education purposes. The site has partnerships with the Utah Division of Air Quality and the Salt Lake County Watershed to co-locate operational monitoring systems.

Red Butte Canyon

A permit-protected Research Natural Area (RNA) managed by the USDA Forest Service, Red Butte Canyon is a wildland laboratory for climate, meteorology, hydrology and biology research and education.
