The network in question is the WeatherFlow ProNet, a network of high-quality, industrial-grade weather stations. WeatherFlow owns and operates the largest professional mesoscale observing network (mesonet) in the United States, including the nation’s only mesonet focused on the highly variable coastal zone.
