Iowa Environmental Mesonet History IEM – What is it? Assessment Current Products & Web site Input from YOU!

IEM – How is it different? Other mesonets have been built from scratch at great cost. The IEM attempts to capitalize on existing resources and supplement them. This can be a model for other states and the nation.

What we are lacking Central data facility (archive) Data comparison standards Detailed soil temperature data Regular soil moisture data Complete state coverage Short term data (from 2 days - 6 weeks)

Automated Stations

Iowa Environmental Mesonet

Potential Users Farmers/Producers Emergency managers Citizenry Industry Education (K – graduate) Climate/agricultural researchers NWS

Cooperators/Supporters National Weather Service Iowa State University Insurance Industry USDA OCE Iowa DOT IDALS

Improve collaboration among scientists and managers to enhance the effectiveness of observation networks, monitoring, prediction, information delivery, and applied research and to foster public understanding of and preparedness for drought. Goal 2 National Drought Policy Commission “Preparing for Drought in the 21st Century”
