Program
KL0UD gave a presentation on CoCoRaHS, a program to increase the coverage of rain, snow and hail observation data available to climate researchers and other users including the National Weather Service. CoCoRaHS began in Colorado and has already spread to 27 states, with several more including Georgia to come online in 2008. Participants record precipitation daily at or around 7:00 a.m. using a standard 4-inch rain gauge, and report it via the internet.
After the program, the meeting was adjourned.
