  skos:definition """Prototype Regional Observing and Forecasting Service (PROFS) is a program responsible for improving local weather service capability through application of recent technological advances in high speed communication and computers. This program has worked closely with the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Earth Satellite Service (NESS) to develop a highly sophisticated system (Brown, 1983) which integrates information from radar, satellites, national weather circuits, and a network of 22 automated surface observing stations spread over the northern Front Range and the eastern plains of Colorado.  That network, hereafter referred to as the mesonet, provides real-time wind, temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall, isolation and visual range data, offering the forecaster details of meteorological fields unavailable from other sources.
