CoCoRaHS
CoCoRaHS is 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). By using low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive Web-site, our aim is to provide the highest quality data for natural resource, education and research applications Wyoming. Wyoming is a very active state, with over 200 observers who regularly participate in the program. To learn more or to join CoCoRaHS, visit the CoCoRaHS homepage. CoCoRaHS in Wyoming is supported by partnerships with WRDS-SCO, the National Weather Service and the USDA Farm Service Agency. Wyoming currently has about 300 active observers and almost 240 reported at least once during 2012; 190 have already been active in 2013. Click here to view map of participation by county. Summer months see a higher number of observers and reports per day than in the winter, but a typical month (average of the last 12 months) has about 135 reports per day from about 180 observers. Wyoming has a very high per capita participation in the CoCoRaHS network and we who use the data are very appreciative of all the efforts of the observers. If you are interested in participating, we'd be grateful to have you in the network. There are a few things that you will need:
