Parameters Measured by Met Stations • Soil temperature • Soil moisture • Air temperature • Leaf wetness • Percent humidity • Rainfall • Solar radiation • Wind gust speed • Average wind speed • Wind direction
Problems • Equipment reliability • Data handling • Not enough staff or funding to adequately operate current met station network
Future Needs • Additional funding or assistance operating and maintaining met stations • Accurate and timely information for drought declarations • Telemetered met stations with real-time data
