dc.description.abstractEvapotranspiration from crops causes depletion of soil water reserves and without rainfall or irrigation to replenish the soil moisture serious crop stress can occur. The Nebraska Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN) was initiated in 1981 in order to provide information on weather variables that effect crop water use: air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed/direction, soil temperature, and precipitation. By 2003 the public access to AWDN and related products reached 12M per year. This paper describes the Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN) and the interfaces that provide near real time climate services with emphasis on evapotranspiration (ET) or crop water use. Currently, automated weather stations are monitored daily at 54 locations in Nebraska and 10 new stations have been purchased with federal drought funds. There are over 150 stations available in a nine state region.
