Iowa Environmental Mesonet (IEM) Dog and Pony Show https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu Daryl Herzmann started the IEM website 25 years ago with the aim of making environmental data easier to use. Through many fruitful NWS collaborations and a brief stint as a NWS contractor, Daryl developed many tools on the IEM website utilized by all corners of the NWS. The NWS developed tools included NWSChat (version 1), NWWS-OI, and RA4-GIFS. The IEM developed tools include the "IEM Cow", "VTEC Browser", "LSR App" and about everything else you can't easily find at NCEI, nor can easily find on the IEM website! The "IEM Dog and Pony Show" presentation highlights the many tools and archives useful for WFO usage with significant amounts of dry humor and candor attempting to illustrate why "we can't have nice things". Please let Daryl know if you have any specific topics or NWS data statistics you would like to see addressed during the talk.
