CKCS Tech Night - Monday - March 08 at 7 pm on Zoom
The Kentucky Mesonet
presented by Andrew Quilligan and Megan Schargorodski
Mesonet Saves the Day ... a Change in Plans
Like the weather, we have an unplanned change in the Tech Night presentation. Bill
Meck, Chief Meteorologist at WLEX-TV, has had to postpone his Weather 101
presentation until May. Instead, we will have a presentation on Kentucky Mesonet.
The Kentucky Mesonet, a division of the Kentucky Climate Center, is a statewide
weather and climate monitoring infrastructure with an operations center housed
at Western Kentucky University's Center for Research and Development. It is based
pon a network of automated stations that monitor near-surface environmental
conditions in the domain from 10 meters above the surface to one meter below the
surface. It is recognized as the official source of climatological observations
for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Andrew Quilligan will be joining us for the presentation. He is the Lead Systems
Architect and will provide information about Kentucky Mesonet from a computer-based
aspect. Megan Schargorodski, Manager, Kentucky Mesonet at WKU will join to answer
any meteorology/weather questions.
Mesonet data are easily accessible and can be used to improve local forecasts and
severe weather warnings, aid emergency response efforts, enhance agricultural
productivity, assist local utility providers, and support business and industry.
Don't miss this informative presentation about a hidden Kentucky gem.

Disk Erasing Service
CKCS is now offering a service to erase your older disk drive so you can feel confident that
no personal information is left on it before you give it away or dispose of it.
Bring your computer or just the disk drive to CKCS to get it erased and returned to you or donated
to charity. Erasing is usually done on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings between 10 AM and 1 PM
or at the Dr Fixit Special Interest Group which usually meets on the first Saturday of every
month between 10 AM and noon.
There is no charge but a small donation would be appreciated.
