AAMU’s Weather Stations Now Blanket StateFarmers and environmentaliststhroughout Alabama are receiving theinformation they need to make criticaldecisions, thanks in large measure to theexpansive research and state-of-the-artweather monitoring equipment suppliedby Alabama A&M University scientists.The Alabama Mesonet (ALMNet),operated by AAMU through itsDepartment of Natural Resources andEnvironmental Sciences, is made up ofmeteorological and/or soil profile SCANstations. The combination stations arealso part of a U.S. Department ofAgriculture data collection network.To date, AAMU has set up SCANstations in 24 counties in Alabama,including three in counties in the vicinityof the Gulf Coast (Baldwin, Escambia andHouston counties), as well as three inTennessee. Additionally, four newweather stations have been set up in theBlack Belt counties of Dallas, Macon,Montgomery, and Pickens, all strungalong the midsection of the state. Anestablished station in Sumter County,located on Alabama’s border withMississippi, brings the total of stationslocated in the Black Belt region to five.Recent support from Alabama FarmersFederation (ALFA) President Jerry Newbyand Executive Director Paul A. Pinyan tothe tune of $15,000 greatly assisted in themaintenance of all the SCAN stations.The stations are set up on land donatedfor use by ALMNet for a period of 30years. Among the newer units arestations situated in Colbert, Pickens,Randolph and Winston counties.According to Dr. Teferi Tsegaye, chairof the Department of Natural Resourcesand Environmental Sciences, ALFA is akey user of the meteorological/soil profilestations, which allow end users real-timedata for the day-to-day management offarms.Tsegaye says ALMNet has reliedheavily on research dollars although theALMNETextent of its benefit is statewide. “Weneed and are looking for additionalsupport,” said Tsegaye.AAMU Researchers Report on Volcanic AshMONTSERRATIn an effort to further shareimportant research to its colleagues,the School of Agricultural andEnvironmental Sciences (SAES) hasreleased a publication focusing onvolcanic ash from the live volcano onthe island of Montserrat.The author is one an SAES Ph.D.graduate students, and the co-authorsrepresent the areas of chemistry,physics, engineering and naturalresources and environmental sciencesat AAMU.“This is a great example ofscientists in SAES working outsidethe silos, as charged by (AAMU)President Hugine, to survive in the21st century,” says SAES DeanRobert W.
