Technical Definition

The
Science of
Mesonets.

"A mesonet is a high-resolution sub-synoptic network of automated weather stations."

Unlike standard airport weather stations, Mesonets are engineered for high-density spatial coverage and rapid-fire temporal resolution, specifically designed to capture localized atmospheric phenomena that larger networks miss.

High-Frequency Sampling

Data is polled at intervals as low as 3 seconds, allowing researchers to observe micro-bursts and rapid pressure fluctuations in real-time.

Scientific Instrumentation

Stations utilize research-grade sensors for solar radiation, soil moisture at multiple depths, and ultrasonic wind measurement.

Institutional Oversight

Managed by ULM Atmospheric Sciences, ensuring data quality control (QA/QC) meets NOAA and National Mesonet Program standards.

National Data Integration

Louisiana Mesonet feeds into the National Mesonet Program, empowering the NWS with hyper-local telemetry.

SYSTEM REPOSITORY

Operational F.A.Q.

Who will have access to the data collected?
Mesonet data is free to the public and educational institutions. Real-time visualizations are publicly accessible. Commercial data requests or live raw feeds may incur a cost-recovery fee to support network maintenance.
What is the planned network density?
Initial funding supports 50 research-grade stations across Louisiana. Future expansion goals target a 75-100 station array to ensure complete spatial coverage for the Bayou State.
