Rainy day

Weather junkies love to read about weather happenings. Horticulture students are frequently weather junkies.

We've added 28 web sites for Horticulture to our "Web sites collected for NMTC programs" link in GALILEO.

Among those 28 sites is:

The Georgia Automated Environmental Monitoring Network which "was established in 1991 by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Georgia. The objective of the AEMN is to collect reliable weather information for agricultural and environmental applications. Each station monitors air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, soil temperature at 2, 4, and 8 inch depths, atmospheric pressure, and soil moisture every 1 second. Data are summarized at 15 minute intervals and at midnight a daily summary is calculated. A microcomputer at the Georgia Experiment Station initiates telephone calls to each station periodically and downloads the recorded data. The data are processed immediately and disseminated via the world wide web ( www.Georgiaweather.net)"

What a treat for weather junkies. Graphs, charts, soil temperature, soil moisture - yesterdays conditions, today's conditions, 31 day summary. A treasure trove of information. You type in your zip code and there is all this data to peruse. A great rainy day place to surf.
