The National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program is truly the nation's weather and climate observing network of, by and for the people. About 10,000 volunteers take observations on farms, in urban and suburban areas, National Parks, seashores and mountaintops. The data are truly representative of where people live, work and play.
Observers generally record temperature, precipitation, snowfall and snow depth daily and electronically send those reports daily to the NWS and the National Centers for Environmental Information.
