New Mexico State University, State Climate Program, Enhancement Initiative, 2004 Legislative Session

Serving the agriculture and economic needs of the State of New Mexico, the New Mexico Climate center consists of the State Climatologist, Dr. Ted Sammis, and a group of dedicated students that maintain an automated network of climate stations operated by government and private organizations in the State of New Mexico. The New Mexico Climate Center maintains a web site at http://weather.nmsu.edu that processes climate data daily and makes it available to the public in text and graphical form. New Mexico State University lacks the personnel to continue to provide the education, research, and professional training in climatology and the use of climate information in water resource management. This legislative initiative for $270,000 on a recurring basis will allow NMSU to become a Center of Excellence of Climate Information use in water resources management. For further information, please contact Dr. Ted Sammis, Professor, Agronomy and Horticulture Department, New Mexico State University, Tel (505) 646-2104, e-mail: tsammis@nmsu.edu.
