The U.S. Climate Reference
Network (USCRN) is a network
of climate monitoring stations
with sites across the U.S., Alaska,
and Hawaii.
These stations use high-quality
instruments to measure
temperature, precipitation,
wind speed, soil conditions,
and more.
According to GAO’s survey
of weather forecast offices,
about 42% of active
weather stations in 2010
did not meet one or more
of the siting standards.
Urban stations showed
a lot more warming than
rural stations.
The current CRN network
has 137 stations
(up from 114),
with proper siting and not
contaminated by nearby
economic growth.
