CoCoRaHS - The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network |
|||
|
|
CoCoRaHS is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow). CoCoRaHS has been around for a while, but recruitment efforts in Far West Texas have been minimal -- until NOW! The El Paso Area National Weather Service office is looking for volunteer rainfall observers. All you need is a plastic rain gauge and an internet connection! Anyone can join, but we are especially interested in observers in El Paso and Hudspeth Counties in Texas. |
