MESONET DATA

Over 200 meteorological stations located in Utah deliver continuously basic data about current atmospheric conditions. Most of them are updated every 5 minutes. The archived data are available in form of ASCII tables and graphics since 1997. The access to the archive is public and interesting data can be easily retrieved from the Web site http://www.met.utah.edu . For the purpose of ASU VTMX experiments most interesting are data from surrounding stations. The nearest to ASC station is WBB (1.6km). It is located at the top of 30m building of University of Utah and has elevation 1465m.
