Description: The National Mesonet Program is an observational weather network of networks funded by NOAA to support and ensure a weather-ready nation.
Comprised of numerous and diverse public-private partners, the National Mesonet is a cost-effective, critical resource for the National Weather Service (NWS), state and local government agencies, policy makers, business enterprises, educators and researchers.
The NMP’s vision is to continually provide high-value and timely data to meet the needs of every weather sensitive segment of the U.S. economy including defense, transportation, agriculture, insurance, land-use planning and energy sectors.
The NMP continues to leverage increasingly dense and resilient networks, delivering new technologies and arrays of observations that enhance the NWS’s ability to protect life, property and the economic vitality of the nation.
