Network Overview
The ECONet Extended network includes additional stations managed by the NC State Climate Office that include some -- but not all -- of the standard suite of ECONet sensors. These stations help fill in gaps across the state and provide data even in areas where a full-fledged ECONet station is impossible or impractical, such as the Mile High Swinging Bridge at Grandfather Mountain. Like most ECONets, these stations make observations once per minute.
