Kentucky Mesonet expanding to Bath Co., KY Mesonet already located at Adair - Casey - Cumberland - Metcalfe - Taylor in the 7-County CM coverage area BOWLING GREEN, KY - The Kentucky Mesonet is expanding its weather and climate monitoring network to Bath County. Installation of a Mesonet station near the Preston community was completed this week. Data from the site should be available online at www.kymesonet.org later this month. "We are extremely pleased to have a new station installed in Bath County as part of the Kentucky Mesonet," said Dr. Stuart Foster, director of the Mesonet and the Kentucky Climate Center at Western Kentucky University. "This site will provide valuable data to assist National Weather Service meteorologists in producing forecasts and severe weather warnings, and will also provide benefits to a wide range of interests in the local area." Since the Mesonet's first station at the WKU farm in Warren County became operational in May 2007, 56 stations have been installed toward a goal of 100 stations statewide. The Mesonet stations collect real-time weather and climate data on temperature, precipitation, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction. Data is packaged into observations and transmitted to the Kentucky Climate Center at WKU every five minutes, 24 hours per day, throughout the year and is available online at www.kymesonet.org .The statewide automated environmental monitoring network supports a variety of needs across Kentucky in agriculture, education, emergency management, energy, engineering and construction, recreation, transportation, water supply management and weather forecasting. Stations are located in Adair, Allen, Barren, Bath, Boone, Breathitt, Breckinridge, Bullitt, Caldwell, Calloway, Campbell, Carroll, Casey, Christian, Clark, Clinton, Crittenden, Cumberland, Fayette, Franklin, Fulton, Graves, Grayson, Hardin, Harrison, Hart, Henderson, Hopkins, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, Madison, Marshall, Mason, McLean, McCreary, Mercer, Metcalfe, Morgan, Nicholas, Ohio, Oldham, Owen, Owsley, Pike, Rowan, Shelby, Taylor, Trigg, Union and Warren counties. Work is continuing on station sites in Marion and Muhlenberg counties. Mesonet officials are actively pursuing sites in about 15 other counties, including Carter, Harlan, Pendleton, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Simpson and Todd. This story was posted on 2011-03-11 11:05:54
