New! ISU Soil Moisture Network
Iowa State University is in the process of deploying a new network of
automated weather equipment with the standard suite of weather instruments
along with soil temperature and moisture sensors. The soil moisture data is
a work-in-progress as a calibration step is yet necessary at many of the sites.
Rainfall Disclaimer:
The Soil Moisture Network uses a non-heated tipping bucket rain gage and is
unable to measure snowfall. If you are interested in higher quality
precipitation data, check out the NWS COOP network
of human observations.
Legacy ISU AgClimate Network
23 April 2014: Data
is no longer being collected from these stations. You will want to
use the "Soil Moisture Network" above as your source for this type of data.
The Iowa State University "Ag Climate" network is one of the nation's
oldest automated weather observation networks with data dating back to 1986.
These stations are scheduled to be removed during the spring of 2014.
