| The Kansas State Daily Weather Data web service has data from 14 meteorological stations throughout Kansas. |
The K-State Research and Extension is a partnership between Kansas State University and federal, state, and county governments. The mission of K-State Research and Extension is to be "...dedicated to a safe, sustainable, competitive food and fiber system and to strong, healthy communities, families and youth through integrated research, analysis and education." One aspect of working towards this goal is to gather and monitor environmental data. An example of such data collection coordinated through K-State Research and Extension is a network of 14 meteorological stations throughout the state of Kansas that capture weather data. Historical data (1985-2012) from this network were published in the HIS Catalog last year and include measurements of:
- Precipitation
- Air Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- Wind Speed
- Net Radiation
This is a great data source for weather data in Kansas. In one HydroDesktop tutorial, I compared precipitation data from this service with discharge data from the USGS NWIS service to investigate the correlation between the two variables.
