The Oklahoma Mesonet is a world-class network of environmental
monitoring stations. The network was designed and implemented by
scientists at the University of Oklahoma (OU) and at Oklahoma
State University (OSU).
The Oklahoma Mesonet consists of over 110 automated
stations covering Oklahoma. There is at least one Mesonet station
in each of Oklahoma's 77 counties.
At each site, the environment
is measured by a set of instruments located on or near a 10-meter-tall
tower. The measurements are packaged into "observations" every
5 minutes, then the observations are transmitted to a central facility every
5 minutes, 24 hours per day year-round.
The Oklahoma Climatological
Survey (OCS) at OU receives the observations, verifies the quality of
the data and provides the data to Mesonet customers. It only takes 5 to
10 minutes from the time the measurements are acquired until they become
available to the public. |
