Using the Mesonet Daryl 30 March 2015

Iowa Environmental Mesonet Department of Agronomy Project – Started in 2001 – Funded by collaborative research products (grants) “Mesonet” -> Meso-scale Network – A collection of observation platforms intended to resolve phenomena on the meso-scale (10s of miles) Daryl has created a hot mess of a website – Horribly complex, confusing and filled with technical jargon, but I am here to explain why!

Collect data from existing observation networks – Iowa State’s Soil Moisture Network is the only one operated by Iowa State. – Primary focus is the corn belt, but data available for other places too! Nearly all data is made immediately available for download. Generate products and website applications to hopefully provide users with immediate answers.

Nearing 1 billion web requests per day (daily average around 200 million)

SO WHY IS THE WEBSITE SO CONFUSING?

Observations of Weather and Climate are Messy For daily (calendar day) needs, high quality temperature, precipitation, and snow data does not exist (for Iowa)! – Baseline / long term NWS Cooperative Observer network (humans) take 24 hour measurements at ~ 7 AM (but not all sites do that!) – Automated weather stations do a poor job at precipitation, do not report snowfall, and often provide summaries on standard time day (no DST) Remotely sensed datasets often have coarse resolution, many biases, and require great technical understanding to use Automated weather stations break. Human observers make unreliable reports. The highest quality data (NWS COOP) do not report wind, solar radiation, humidity, nor soil temperatures! A lot of our data has been generated by physical + statistical models.

What do IEM data users want? “Just tell me now much it rained in Ames yesterday” “Don’t explain to me all of the lame things on the last slide” “I want data for Gilbert, not Ames” See my talk: “How much did it rain in Ames on 25 June 2010?”“How much did it rain in Ames on 25 June 2010?”
