This could be a fun project to do. And with 1 measuring station every 500 miles, 8,000 stations would cover the Earth's surface. By knowing atmospheric air pressure and temperature, it would allow the what's happening between 2 stations to be known.
This would get into Boltzmann's Ideal Gas Law. And with weather systems, they are usually influenced by areas of high and low pressure and that would be known as well.
Then over the years a model based on actual data that has been collected at set points can show if change is happening. What this could do is make know when vents in the seafloor open and close.
And solar radiation could also be monitored. And then all of this could be considered at the same time as the Earth's and Moon's orbit around the Sun goes. That could influence the amount of incoming solar IR as well.

Unfortunately, your math is in error here.

Earth has approximately 197,000,000 sq miles of surface area. This means that, if measuring stations could be uniformly spaced out, each station would cover an area of 24,625 sq miles, or an area about the size of the State of West Virginia. If you wish to have each station cover an area of 500 sq miles (which would be an area about the size of the city of Los Angeles, CA), then you would need 394,000 stations.

However, whether you have 8,000 stations or 394,000 stations, it simply isn't enough stations to yield any meaningful result since temperatures can vary by as much as 20degF/mile.

No, we wouldn't "know what's happening" between the two stations. We would only "know what's happening" AT the two stations themselves (as those two locations are being measured). Everywhere else around and between the two stations would be unknown (as those locations are NOT being measured).

What is "that"? Pressures?

Measuring individual locations is not the same as measuring a volume. See above.

?????? Have fun with that... Let me know how it goes for ya...

And since you wouldn't be doing it, you'll complain that it's not good enough for you. You can't show where you can do better. You sound like a born again Christian. They require perfection as well.

Haven't been to church in a while? You can still go out and drink yourself passed out drunk on saturday night. Drag yourself to church later the next day, still wearing the same pike stained shirt from the night before, and be forgiven, long as regret being hung over, sufficiently, which most, at the time. Of course, they expect you to tip the collection plate generously, when passed. Titty bar cash, for free cover charge, doesn't count, or appreciated...

** Doing what, exactly?
** What isn't good enough for me, exactly?
** Do better at what, exactly?
** Yes, I'm a Christian. -- It is actually God that requires perfection.

Am glad you got my post. I think the church has forgotten that it's meant to be the servant. And by doing so it is the light.
I'm not sure why going to a titty bar is an issue. If no one says you were there then what's the problem? It's all about image.
