Weather Station Fully Functional

Thanks to Tarleton’s innovative IT team, the Timberlake weather station is now fully functional and connected to the West Texas Mesonet network. If you are ever wondering what is happening weather-wise in the Rye Valley (or elsewhere in the western ½ of Texas), go to https://www.mesonet.ttu.edu/ and click on the station to the northwest of Austin. The National Wind Institute at Texas Tech also provides a variety of additional downloadable data related to all their associated weather stations. We hope to utilize data from Timberlake to track long-term ecological changes as they relate to our ever-changing weather.
