The Texas Mesonet is a network of meteorological monitoring instruments, broadly dispersed across the State, and reporting to a common point for display of the data in near-real-time.  The data are archived and available to the public and the academic community for research and analysis.  The goal of this site is to provide a demonstration of the potential and capabilities of a Mesoscale (medium scale) monitoring network to the potential users:  The Citizens of Texas, the academic community, Emergency Planners and Managers, the Public Utilities, and anyone else who will find this data useful.
