D R A F T D R A F T D R A F T D R A F T D R A F T KENTUCKY MESONET SURVEY What is a mesonet and why are we here? A dense network of research-quality, real-time, automated environmental monitoring stations throughout the entire state usually at least 1 station per county. Mesonet" is a combination of the words "mesoscale" and "network". In meteorology, "mesoscale" refers to weather events that range in size from a few kilometers to a few hundred kilometers. Mesoscale events last from several minutes to several hours.Thunderstorms and squall lines are two examples of mesoscale events. A "network" is an interconnected system. Thus, a mesonet is a system designed to measure the environment at the size and duration of mesoscale weather events. The primary objective of the Kentucky Mesonet Task Force is to assist the University of Kentucky in the developing a proposal to build and maintain a mesonet in Kentucky.
