{{Short description|US weather observation network}}
The [[NOAA]] '''Environmental Real-time Observation Network''' ('''NERON''') is a project to establish a nationwide network of [[Data quality|high quality]] near real-time [[Weather station|weather monitoring stations]] across the [[United States]].<ref>[https://ams.confex.com/ams/Annual2006/techprogram/paper_102368.htm COOP Modernization: NOAA's Environmental Real-time Observation Network in New England, the Southeast, and Addressing NIDIS in the West]</ref> A 20-mile by 20-mile grid has been established, with the hopes of having one [[Surface weather observation|observation system]] within each grid cell. Effort is being put forth by local [[National Weather Service]] (NWS) offices and other state climate groups to ensure that sites in the network meet important criteria. The network will be composed of existing, and in some cases upgraded, sites ([[Automated Surface Observing System|ASOS]], [[Cooperative Observer]], etc.) as well as new sites being established for other local and state efforts. Many stations in [[New England]] and [[New York (state)|New York]] have already been installed.
