Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS)  - The National Weather Service (NWS), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Defense operate this network of 967 stations located throughout the United States [Arkansas (16), Kansas (17), Louisiana (18), Missouri (19), Oklahoma (15), Texas (60)]. The data generally available from ASOS stations includes hourly (and special) observations of air temperature, dew point, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, visibility, present weather, and precipitation. The hourly and special observations are included within many data archives. Additionally, data with up to one minute temporal resolution can be obtained from the ASOS stations via modem (password required for access). The most recent 12 hours of 1-minute observations are kept at the stations.
