Meteorological Benefits from VII• Millions of observations, 24/7• Benefits include improved:
– knowledge of the planetary boundary layer
– localization of temperature, precipitation occurrence & type
– identification of driver-level visibility– model initialization– understanding of the near surface and
pavement
