The models that scientists develop and test with quality-assured data eventually become used by a wider community, from policy makers' long-term strategies based upon weather and climate predictions to emergency managers' decisions to deploy response crews. The process of developing high quality data in one network, the Oklahoma Mesonetwork (Mesonet) is detailed in this manuscript.
