BACKGROUND
About the Oklahoma Mesonet
While the Oklahoma City Micronet is new, the Oklahoma Mesonet has been serving the state for more than a dozen years. Here’s a look at the statewide Mesonet:• The network of monitoring stations was designed by scientists at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.
• It consists of 120 automated weather stations covering all 77 counties in Oklahoma.
• At each site, the environment is measured by instruments on a 10-meter-tall tower. The measurements are packaged every five minutes and transmitted to a central facility every five minutes.
• The Oklahoma Climatological Survey at OU receives the observations, verifies the quality of the data and provides the data to customers. SOURCE: OKLAHOMA CLIMATOLOGICAL SURVEY
