|
| CAMNET - The Northeast States
for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) operates this network of 6 stations
with locations throughout the northeast US (1 in New Hampshire). The network
provides 15-minute observations of air temperature, relative humidity, wind
speed, wind direction, precipitation, and visibility. Each station also has a
webcam on site. For further information visit the
CAMNET home page. |
 |
| WBZ WeatherNet
- WBZ-TV in Boston, Massachusettes this network of 124 stations located
primarily at schools throughout Massachusettes, New Hampshire, and Vermont (16 in New Hampshire). The
network provides up to 1-minute observations of air temperature, relative
humidity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and barometric pressure.

|
| New Hampshire Air Monitoring Network
- The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Air Resources
Division operates this network of 14 weather stations located throughout the
state of New Hampshire. The paramters available vary by station, but all provide
hourly wind speed and wind direction. For further information visit the
Air
Monitoring page. |

|
| AIRMAP Network - AIRMAP is a
multi-institutional effort housed at the University of New Hampshire. The network
includes 4 stations with locations throughout New Hampshire. The network provides
15-minute observations of air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and
barometric pressure. Each site also has a webcam. For further information visit the

| Precipitation and Radar Networks |
| |
|
| NOAA/National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP) Hourly Precipitation Data - NOAA/NCEP routinely develops
a National Multi-sensor Hourly Precipitation Analysis (Stage II) data set from
hourly radar precipitation estimates and from hourly gage reports. The gage data
includes hourly observations from ~4000 gages across the US (34 in New Hampshire)
collected by the NOAA River Forecast Centers and sent to NCEP. Further information
on these data is available at:
http://wwwt.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/ylin/pcpanl/. |
 |
| |
|
| NOAA/NWS Cooperative Observer 15-minute Precipitation Network - The NOAA/NWS
routinely collects 15-minute observations of precipitation from Fisher-Porter and Universal
rain gages operated by 2777 cooperative observers located throughout the US (27 in New Hampshire).
These data are archived at NOAA/NCDC as data set TD 3260. For further information visit the
NOAA/NCDC TD3260 page. |

| Soil Networks |
| |
|
| Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) - The SCAN is operated by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The
network provides hourly observations of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed,
wind direction, solar radiation, precipitation, barometric pressure, snow water content,
snow depth, soil temperature (at 2, 4, 8, 20, and 40 cm depths), and soil moisture (at 2, 4,
8, 20 and 40 cm depths). The 80 SCAN stations are located across the US in primarily
agricultural regions (2 in New Hampshire). For further information visit the
SCAN home page. |

| United States Geological Survey (USGS) Streamflow
Network - The USGS (part of the US Department of the Interior) operates this
network of 7237 streamflow gages (57 in New Hampshire) at locations throughout the US.
The network provides hourly or more frequent observations of stage (water level) from
which discharge (flow) is comuputed using a stage-discharge rating relation. The
rating is defined by occasional direct current-meter measurements of discharge. All
data are available through the USGS and the district offices in each state. Many of
these gages provide realtime data
relayed via the GOES satellite data collection system. The realtime data are
provisional data that have not been reviewed or edited. These realtime data
may be subject to significant change and are not citeable until reviewed and approved
by the USGS. Realtime data may be changed after review because the stage-discharge
relationship may have been affected by: 1) backwater from ice or debris; 2) algal and
aquatic growth in the stream; 3) sediment movement; and 4) malfunction of recording
equipment. Each station record is considered provisional until the data are
published. The data are usually published with 6 months of the end of the water year
(1 October to 30 September). Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the
provisional nature of the information before using it. For further information on the
USGS stremflow network visit the
USGS Water Resources of the United
States page or the
USGS New Hampshire District Office
home page. |

| Cooperative Agency Profiler (CAP) Network - The NOAA/FSL ingests data
from wind profilers and RASS operated by a number of cooperating agencies. Most of
these profilers are 915 MHz, but some are 449 or 50 MHz. Most provide hourly observations
of wind speed and direction. The number and location of these can vary through time. As
this is being written the network included 58 locations within the US (2 in New Hampshire).
Most of the sites are along the US West Coast and in the northeastern US. For further
information visit the CAP home page at:
http://www.profiler.noaa.gov/jsp/aboutCap.jsp. |

|
| Ground Based Global Positioning System (GPS) Meteorology Demonstration Network
(GPS-MET) - The NOAA/FSL ingests data from 323 GPS locations around the US
operated by many different agencies (3 in New Hampshire). Typically each location provides
30-minute observations of integrated precipitatable water along with a number of surface
meteorology parameters (air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, etc).

GPS-MET home page. |

| Regional East Atmospheric Lidar Mesonet - The Regional East Atmospheric Lidar Mesonet
(REALM) is a proposal by a number of lidar researchers and is designed to monitor air quality in the
vertical from multiple locations on the east coast. For further information visit the
REALM web site. |

|
| Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) -
The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) operates this network of 55 C-MAN stations
with locations along coastlines throughout the US (1 in New Hampshire). The network
typically provides hourly observations of air temperature, barometric pressure,
wind speed, wind direction, and wind gust. Some stations also provide
observations of sea water temperature, water level, waves, relative humidity,
precipitation, and visibility. For further information visit the
NDBC home page. |

|
| National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Moored Buoy
Network - The NDBC operates this network of 77 moored buoys with locations
throughout the US coastal regions (1 off the coast of New Hampshire). The network typically
provides hourly observations of air temperature, dew point, water temperature,
barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, wave height, wave period, and
swell. For further information visit the
NDBC home page. |
