Cooperative Extension, the outreach arm of the University of Arizona, is "taking the university to the people." Extension serves as a statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and staff that provides lifelong educational programs—including those related to climate, agriculture, and natural resources—for all Arizonans. Extension is part of a nationwide educational network of scientists and educators who help people solve problems and put knowledge to use. Arizona Cooperative Extension provides a link between the university and the citizens of this state.

The Arizona Meteorological Network (AZMET) began full operation in January 1986 with the mission to provide meteorological data and weather-based information for agricultural and horticultural interests operating in southern and central Arizona. For more than 17 years, AZMET has worked in partnership with Arizona communities, assisted state and federal agencies, provided education programs, and conducted many fundamental and applied research projects. Currently, the AZMET network has 28 stations operating in a variety of rural and urban production settings. Each station is a solar-powered, self-contained unit.
