The 2025 AASC Mesonet Community Meeting is now accepting abstract submissions. The meeting will take place in Albany, NY from July 22-25, 2025. The deadline for abstract submissions is June 1, 2025 at 1700 PDT.

Presentations on any topic relevant to mesonets or weather and climate monitoring are acceptable.  Topics of particular interest include: sensor comparison studies, data quality control methods, field maintenance and calibration techniques, mesonet data products/applications, funding stories, outreach and marketing strategies, multi-network collaboration, and open source resources/software.

Oral and poster presentations will be part of the meeting agenda. Please note that every attempt will be made to accommodate your preferred presentation format, but due to limited time in the meeting agenda and the fact that we plan to accept all abstracts, some presentation preferences may not be able to be accommodated.

For those of you arriving early on Monday (July 21st), we’ll be meeting up at the City Line Bar and Grill (1200 Western Avenue, Albany, NY 12203). You’ll be responsible for any food or drink you buy, but this is a great restaurant with a wide array of options, including alternatives for various dietary considerations.  

On Wednesday evening (July 23rd), we’ll meet at the Indian Ladder Cidery and Brewery, which is about 20 minutes from the meeting venue. We’ll have a tour of a NYSM weather station located near the Cidery, followed by a happy hour at the Cidery sponsored by Synoptic Data, PBC.  

We’re excited to offer a field experience at this year’s meeting. Our hosts at the New York State Mesonet have planned a trip to Whiteface Mountain Field Station and Summit Observatory located in the Adirondack Mountains on Friday, July 25th. This will be an optional field trip, but lunch will be sponsored by Campbell Scientific.  Cost and travel details will be shared closer to when registration opens.

Below is a list of suggested restaurants and amenities in the area near the hotel and meeting area.  Most of these locations are within walking distance or a short ride/drive from the hotel.

Once again, we will have an exhibitor area at this year’s meeting. Attendees will have multiple opportunities to visit with our exhibitors to learn more about the products and services they offer and find new, innovative ways to enhance the work mesonets are doing around the country. Below is list of exhibitors and sponsors who have committed to this year’s meeting so far:
