Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A public Great Salt Lake observatory preview pairs a provisional geographic display with water, wind, river-flow, and historical-contour context.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-05 issue.

For: Great Salt Lake researchers and public-interest readers
Worth noticing: It distinguishes USGS gauge observations from shoreline polygons, which remain unvalidated pending source coverage and vertical-datum reconciliation.

Field notes

The interface pairs a provisional geographic display with controls and labels for water, wind, river flow, and possible dust context. It cites a July 2022 South Arm Landsat reference at 4,190.1 feet NGVD29 and labels other historical lines approximate. The page says current shoreline polygons, exposed lakebed, and potential dust-source mapping remain gated by validation, source coverage, or provenance.
