Overview
The Oklahoma City Micronet is a network of 40 automated environmental monitoring stations across the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Designed and implemented via a partnership between the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) at the University of Oklahoma (OU) and the City of Oklahoma City, the network consists of 4 Oklahoma Mesonet stations and 36 sites mounted on traffic signals.
At each traffic signal site, atmospheric conditions are measured and transmitted every minute to a central facility 24 hours per day, year-round. Similarly, at each Oklahoma Mesonet site, the environment is measured by a set of instruments located on or near a 10-meter-tall tower. The Mesonet observations are collected every 5 minutes and transmitted to a central facility 24 hours per day year-round. The Oklahoma Climatological Survey receives the observations, verifies the quality of the data and provides the data to Oklahoma City Micronet partners and customers.
