Description: The Kentucky Mesonet is tasked with collecting meteorological data throughout the commonwealth of Kentucky. With this, atmospheric scientists and climatologists are able to create accurate and reliable data using a set of in-situ, quality assured data. Each point drawn on this map represents an instrument cluster site covered by the Kentucky Mesonet.Contact information:Kentucky Mesonet2413 Nashville Rd., Suite 301, Bowling Green, KY 42101kymesonet@wku.edu270-745-4567https://www.kymesonet.org/Kentucky Climate Office2413 Nashville Rd., Suite 301, Bowling Green, KY 42101kyclimate@wku.edu(270) 745-4567https://www.kyclimate.org/

Description: The States dataset was updated on October 31, 2023 from the United States Census Bureau (USCB) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. States and equivalent entities are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. In addition to the fifty States, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of States for the purpose of data presentation.
