Congratulations to the Nebraska Mesonet team in the UNL School of Natural Resources on installing their 100th weather station to serve Nebraska (and we're already up to 104 stations as of this week!).
Our vision is ambitious: to place everyone in Nebraska within about 12 miles of a high-quality weather station that provides the data needed for better decisions in agriculture, water management, emergency response, and research. Reaching that goal will require approximately 200 stations statewide.
A special thanks to Ruben Behnke and the entire Mesonet team for their persistence in securing funding, building partnerships, and installing these systems across Nebraska. Every new station strengthens our ability to understand weather conditions and serve communities across the state.
