Mesonets?

[Brett Adair]

What would we need to do to build a mesonet network? My local EMA is working on building a network and we want some kind of software to display all of the conditions on one screen. We spoke with Davis today and know that there is some third party software available...however, we don't know of any. We are going to buy the higher end Vanatage Pro 2 stations to build the network. We are also buying a lightning detection system. Any recommendations are sincerely appreciated! Thanks!

Just have each station report to the CWOP and then you can use any of a number of products, including Gibson Ridge or StormLab to view the reports.

Well, I think that they actually want to have a more live way of seeing the data instead of every 10-15 minutes. It's going to be sent back to the EOC over a microwave frequency....then uploaded over the internet at the EOC. Not sure exactly how to have this done...but still looking for solutions. Thanks for the suggestion and we will be doing that as well. Since GR2AE is used at our EOC, that display solution is an automatic for integration. We just prefer having something more live available to us for the money that we are going to spend.
