From 2015 to 2017, the Atmospheric Sciences department deployed a mesonet of weather observation sites across the state of Vermont. The stations were given an identifier beginning with LSC and appended with a number, e.g. LSC01, LSC02, etc. As new stations were installed, they receive a consecutive number in the naming scheme. These stations were strategically placed to fill spatial gaps among existing weather station locations. Most mesonet sites use a Wireless Vantage Pro2™ Plus weather station that reports temperature, dew point, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and incoming solar radiation data. This information is transmitted to the Citizens Weather Observing Program (i.e. CWOP) and subsequently into the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) and the MesoWest data aggregation and distribution system.
