Detailed weather observations on local and regional levels are
essential to a range of needs from forecasting tornadoes to making
decisions that affect energy security, public health and safety,
transportation, agriculture and all of our economic interests. As
technological capabilities have become increasingly affordable,
businesses, state and local governments, and individual weather
enthusiasts have set up observing systems throughout the United
States. However, because there is no national network tying many of
these systems together, data collection methods are inconsistent
and public accessibility is limited. This book identifies
short-term and long-term goals for federal government sponsors and
other public and private partners in establishing a coordinated
nationwide "network of networks" of weather and climate
observations. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Introduction
