8.18.1.6 Mesonet

Mesonet is a combination of the words "mesoscale" and

"network".

In meteorology, "mesoscale" refers to weather events that

range in size from a few miles to a few hundred miles.

Mesoscale events last from several minutes to several

hours. Thunderstorms and squall lines are two examples of

mesoscale events.

A "network" is an interconnected system.

Thus, the Weather Underground Mesonet is a system

designed to measure the environment at the size and

duration of mesoscale weather events.

Your weather station is an important tool for meteorologists

and hobbyists to predict local weather conditions. It is

important you maintain your weather station, including

proper installation and calibration.

Virtual Weather Station allows you perform an “end-to-end

calibration” by applying a gain and offset to the measured

parameter.
