The South Alabama Mesonet is a network of 26 automated weather stations, located in the north-central Gulf Coast area and was founded in 2004 by University of South Alabama Meteorology professor Dr. Sytske Kimball. The weather stations collect 16 meteorological- and soil- quantities including temperature, rainfall, wind speed and direction, soil temperature and humidity. Measurements are made automatically every minute of the day, every day of the year. The Mesonet is entirely funded through grants and donations to support routine maintenance (removing vegetation and animal nests), sensor replacement/repair, calibration of instruments, and to pay our student workers.

User specifically agrees not to misrepresent these datasets, nor to imply that changes made were approved by the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA). The GSA should be acknowledged as the originator of the data. This dataset is to be used as a primary reference source. This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the originators any authority for the decisions they make. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than those at which they were originally delineated can cause misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the data will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the data. Similarly, where this dataset is used in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of these data.
