Enhancing Surface Network Coordination: Insights from the National Mesonet Perspectives

This presentation discusses key findings from the NRC report "From The Ground Up," emphasizing the need for increased coordination among existing surface networks. Such efforts can significantly enhance data quality, metadata completeness, observation access, and the utility of data for locally driven applications. Key topics include the necessary capital investments, extensive infrastructure, the role of field technician teams, network operations centers, and effective quality assurance methods. The benefits of improved coordination span various fields, including nowcasting, mesoscale modeling, severe weather forecasting, and urban climatology.

  2. National Mesonet Perspectives • NRC Report “From The Ground Up” Key Finding: • “Increased coordination among existing surface networks would provide a significant step forward and serve to achieve improved quality checking, more complete metadata, increased access to observations, and broader usage of data serving multiple locally driven needs” • Substantial Capital Investment in Existing Networks • (surface and remote sensing / private and state gov’t) • Extensive Network Infrastructure • Field Technician Teams • Network Operations Centers • Quality Assurance • Cost Effective Solutions

  3. National Mesonet Perspectives • Metadata Collection • Key To Participating • IP/Data Rights • Broad Applications • Nowcasting • Mesoscale Modeling • Severe Weather Forecasting • Plume Dispersion Modeling • Urban Climatology
