TLALOCNet

The Trans-boundary, Land, and Atmosphere Long-term Observational and Collaborative Network (TLALOCNet) is a network of continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) and meteorology stations in Mexico to study atmospheric and solid earth processes.

The network created a collection of continuous GPS meteorology or cGPS/Met sites based on the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory standards for the study of atmospheric and geological processes.

The network's name is play with the name of an Aztec deity, Tlaloc, the god of rain.

Discharge rain, hail and lightning over the earth were associated with this character in ancient Mexico.

The network was funded by the following:[1] The network is capable of analysis of the geophysics in the:[2] TLALOCnet works with Mexico's National Seismological Service (Servicio Sismológico Nacional, SSN), which is part of the Geophysics Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), to provide the GPS data for the country's National Space Weather Laboratory (Laboratorio Nacional de Clima Espacial, LANCE)[3] for the creation of the Total Electron Content maps near to real time (AzTEC).
