  • Kentucky Mesonet Weather Station Moves to Ephram White Park

Submitted photo courtesy of WKU Visitors to Ephram White Park might notice a new feature – a Kentucky Mesonet weather station has been relocated to the park from its previous location near the General Motors Corvette plant. Stuart Foster, director of the Kentucky Mesonet and the Kentucky Climate Center, said the move comes after the station was damaged during a lightning strike. He said the new location shouldn’t afect forecasting in the area. On the contrary, the real- time weather information the station ofers could become even more valuable in its new location at the park at 885 Mount Olivet Road. “With the growing population, nearby schools and industrial park, we felt it was important to keep coverage in that area so we worked with Chris Kummer and Warren County Parks and Recreation and partnered with them on the site at Ephram White Park,” Foster said in a news release. Part of a statewide network of 71 stations in 69 counties, the Mesonet station collects real- time data on temperature, precipitation, humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, soil moisture, soil temperature, wind speed and direction. That data is transmitted to the Kentucky Climate Center at WKU every fve minutes, 24 hours a day throughout the year, and is available online at kymesonet.org.

  • The Impacts on Flow by Hydrological Model with NEXRAD Data: a Case Study on a Small Watershed in Texas, USA Taesoo Lee*
    Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Vol. 46, No. 2, 2011(168~180) The Impacts on Flow by Hydrological Model with NEXRAD Data: A Case Study on a small Watershed in Texas, USA Taesoo Lee* 레이더 강수량 데이터가 수문모델링에서 수량에 미치는 영향 -미국 텍사스의 한 유역을 사례로- 이태수* Abstract：The accuracy of rainfall data for a hydrological modeling study is important. NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar) rainfall data estimated by WRS-88D (Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler) radar system has advantages of its finer spatial and temporal resolution. In this study, NEXRAD rainfall data was tested and compared with conventional weather station data using the previously calibrated SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model to identify local storms and to analyze the impacts on hydrology. The previous study used NEXRAD data from the year of 2000 and the NEXRAD data was substituted with weather station data in the model simulation in this study. In a selected watershed and a selected year (2006), rainfall data between two datasets showed discrepancies mainly due to the distance between weather station and study area. The largest difference between two datasets was 94.5 mm (NEXRAD was larger) and 71.6 mm (weather station was larger) respectively. The differences indicate that either recorded rainfalls were occurred mostly out of the study area or local storms only in the study area. The flow output from the study area was also compared with observed data, and modeled flow agreed much better when the simulation used NEXRAD data. Key Words : Local storm, NEXRAD, Radar, Rainfall, SWAT 요약：강수량 데이터의 정확성은 수리모델링에서 중요하다.

It serves to consolidate the fire weather services provided by National Weather Service (NWS) offices covering the state. The purpose of this operating plan can be broken down into three distinct areas. The first is to consolidate all the fire weather services provided by the five NWS offices covering the state of Arkansas. The second purpose is to describe the services available to all land management agencies in Arkansas. The final purpose is to provide information and guidelines to the forecasting staff at the five NWS offices to ensure that consistent information is given to their customers. Customers of NWS fire weather products and services in Arkansas must understand that the products and policies contained within may differ slightly based on local policy and procedure.

  • NYS Mesonet Data Access Policy
    05/31/2018 NYS Mesonet Data Access Policy The New York State Mesonet is a network of 126 weather stations across the state, with at least one station in every county. Each standard station measures temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, radiation, and soil information. Special subsets of enhanced stations provide additional atmospheric data in the vertical (up to at least 2 miles above ground, 17 stations), flux (the amount of heat and moisture exchange near the ground, 17 stations) and snow depth information (20 stations). The mission of the NYS Mesonet is to operate a world-class environmental monitoring network, to deliver high-quality observations and timely value-added products to support state decision makers, to enhance public safety and education, and to stimulate advances in resource management, agriculture, industry, and research. This network will enable collection of new types of data (e.g., real-time soil moisture, vertical profiles of temperature, wind and humidity) as well as more granular weather data, to be made available to NYS and the Federal Government for the purpose of emergency preparedness through improved weather forecasting which will, in turn increase protection of life and property in New York and surrounding states. The design and construction of the NYS Mesonet was performed by the University at Albany and The Research Foundation for The State University of New York (RFSUNY) with funding provided by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES), through a federal grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This data access guidance provides the means to raise revenues from external grants, contracts, and data licensing fees to sustain and operate the NYS Mesonet.
