Abstract: The research documented in this manuscript demonstrates that undeniable differences exist between values of daily temperature recorded by the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program network and data recorded ...

Abstract: temperature of ?31°F (?35°C) was recorded at Nowata, Oklahoma, on 10 February 2011. This exceeded the previous record minimum temperature for Oklahoma of ?27°F (?32.8°C). The Nowata station is in the Oklahoma Mesonet ...

Abstract: High quality data sources are critical to scientists, engineers, and decision makers alike. The models that scientists develop and test with quality-assured data eventually become used by a wider community, from policy ...

Abstract: In 1999, the Oklahoma Mesonet deployed infrared temperature (IRT) sensors at 89 of its environmental monitoring stations. A 3-yr dataset collected since that time provides a unique opportunity to analyze longer-term, ...

Abstract: The Oklahoma Mesonet, jointly operated by the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, is a network of 116 environmental monitoring stations across Oklahoma. Technicians at the Oklahoma Mesonet perform three ...

Abstract: Mesoscale meteorological data present their own challenges and advantages during the quality assurance (QA) process because of their variability in both space and time. To ensure data quality, it is important to perform ...

Abstract: oil moisture data from the Oklahoma Mesonet are widely used in research efforts spanning many disciplines within Earth sciences. These soil moisture estimates are derived by translating measurements of matric potential ...

Abstract: Soil moisture is an important component in many hydrologic and land?atmosphere interactions. Understanding the spatial and temporal nature of soil moisture on the mesoscale is vital to determine the influence that land ...

Abstract: While sharing many common qualities in design and operation, mesonets across the United States were established independently and organically over the last several decades. In numerous instances, the unique ways each network ...
