The Illinois Climate Network is a 19-station array of automated weather sites scattered across Illinois and operated by Water Survey staff. The network provides enhanced temporal weather observations on atmospheric pressure, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, precipitation, and soil temperatures at several depths. Sites are located primarily at Illinois community colleges and university agricultural research farms. The ICM weather data is collected at the south end of the research farm. Data are polled automatically every 10 seconds, averaged by hour and day, and downloaded to a Water Survey computer once a day. The network data provide valuable information on extreme and usual weather events, as well as short- and long-term trends in climate data, which may have future impacts on other water resources of Illinois.
