Unless noted as All-Season, CoAgMET stations use tipping-bucket rain gauges that are designed for liquid precipitation and may not accurately measure snow moisture or annual precipitation totals.

Unless otherwise noted, CoAgMET stations measure wind at 6.6 or 9.8 feet

Colorado Agricultural METeorological Network

Colorado’s Mesonet

CoAgMET is a network of more than 100 research-grade weather stations across Colorado, managed by the Colorado Climate Center. Because a cornerstone of the network is to calculate crop evapotranspiration (hence the emphasis on ET in the name), most stations are in rural areas near irrigated agriculture.

Colorado’s unique topography creates a wide diversity of conditions across CoAgMET sites. Station elevations range from 3,500 feet above sea level near Holly to 9,500 feet near Jefferson, our highest elevation station. Many of our mountain stations sit above 7,000 feet, including the station near Salida shown in the photo.

The earliest CoAgMET stations have records dating back to 1992. Near real-time and historical data are available, with data collected every five minutes. Explore our site to access data and products.

CoAgMET receives funding from a variety of sources to grow, enhance, operate, and maintain the network.

The National Mesonet Program provides funding support for the operations and maintenance of the network.
The Colorado Water Conservation Board within the State of Colorado has provided generous support for over a decade to expand and enhance the network.
CoAgMET has partnered with Northern Water and integrated their dense network of stations in northeast CO on our website.
