Kentucky Mesonet - a vast network of fully-automated weather and climate monitoring stations - celebrated not one but two milestones Friday morning, the ribbon cutting at station number 80 in southern Green County and the 75th county in Kentucky to include at least one Mesonet site.
The Green County Mesonet station, which first appeared online in October, consists of a 33-foot tower with weather-measuring instrumentation that measures air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction, air pressure, as well as solar radiation. In addition, the site includes probes that collect soil moisture and soil temperature. Comments | Permalink
