在地方和区域一级进行详细的天气观测对于一系列需求至关重要，从预测龙卷风到做出影响能源安全、公共卫生和安全、交通、农业和我们所有经济利益的决策。随着技术能力变得越来越便宜，企业，州和地方政府以及个人气象爱好者已经在美国各地建立了观测系统。然而，由于没有一个全国性网络将许多这些系统连接在一起，数据收集方法不一致，公众获取数据的机会有限。该报告为联邦政府赞助者和其他公共和私人合作伙伴确定了短期和长期目标，以建立一个协调的全国性天气和气候观测“网络的网络”。
Detailed weather observations on local and regional levels are essential to a range of needs from forecasting tornadoes to making decisions that affect energy security, public health and safety, transportation, agriculture and all of our economic interests. As technological capabilities have become increasingly affordable, businesses, state and local governments, and individual weather enthusiasts have set up observing systems throughout the United States. However, because there is no national network tying many of these systems together, data collection methods are inconsistent and public accessibility is limited. This report identifies short-term and long-term goals for federal government sponsors and other public and private partners in establishing a coordinated nationwide “network of networks” of weather and climate observations.
