The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) organizes volunteers in communities throughout the United States to collect and measure precipitation — rain, hail and snow — in their communities. Citizen volunteers are trained how to measure precipitation using a rain gauge and hail pad, record their data and report their measurements online. Data collected by volunteers complements observations made by the National Weather Service and is used by local meteorologists, researchers, emergency managers, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, teachers and others.
Viewer Tip: Every drop counts! Sign up to become a Volunteer Observer or Local Volunteer Coordinator with CoCoRaHS in your state to help this network grow. You can volunteer as an individual or as part of a community or school group. Check out www.cocorahs.org to learn more.
