Meteorological Measurements obtained during 2024 Texas Panhandle Wildfire
Description
The WTM currently provides meteorological observations every one minute at 163 locations (i.e., WTM sites or stations) distributed primarily across West Texas (Fig. 1). The network provides real-time datasets including all standard meteorological parameters as well as radiation fields, rainfall, and leaf wetness and evapotranspiration. Agricultural data include soil temperature and moisture at different levels in both bare and covered soil. Additional details on the data infrastructure and instrument details can be found elsewhere [10] and at the WTM website (mesonet.ttu.edu).
