中尺度现场气象观测对于更好地理解和预测天气和气候以及帮助众多利益相关者社区做出决策至关重要。例如，它们包括国家环境和应急管理机构、商业部门、媒体、农业和公众。在过去三十年中，一些中尺度天气和气候观测网络已经投入运行。这些网络被称为mesonet。大多数由大学运营，并获得不同程度的资金。重要的是要宣传目前的状况和介子网发挥的关键作用，大多数介子网收集标准气象数据，在许多情况下，还收集土壤和水体内的辅助近地表数据。观测是由空间上相对密集的台站阵列进行的，大多是在亚小时的时间尺度上进行的。数据通过各种通信方式中继到mesonet办公室，衍生产品通常分布在...
AbstractMesoscale in situ meteorological observations are essential for better understanding and forecasting the weather and climate and to aid in decision-making by a myriad of stakeholder communities. They include, for example, state environmental and emergency management agencies, the commercial sector, media, agriculture, and the general public. Over the last three decades, a number of mesoscale weather and climate observation networks have become operational. These networks are known as mesonets. Most are operated by universities and receive different levels of funding. It is important to communicate the current status and critical roles the mesonets play.Most mesonets collect standard meteorological data and in many cases ancillary near-surface data within both soil and water bodies. Observations are made by a relatively spatially dense array of stations, mostly at subhourly time scales. Data are relayed via various means of communication to mesonet offices, with derived products typically distribut...
