New CoCoRaHS condition monitoring recruits

We want to welcome North Carolina CoCoRaHS observers to the CISA and CoCoRaHS condition monitoring project! The volunteers are joining a great group of observers from South Carolina who have shown an amazing level of dedication to drought impacts research and we are truly grateful. We are excited about our growing community.

And speaking of a growing community...March 1st marked the beginning of the annual CoCoRaHS March Madness competition between states to see how many new observers we can recruit this month. If each existing volunteer could recruit just one person to become an observer, it would drastically increase coverage of CoCoRaHS stations throughout the U.S. leading to better localized precipitation data around the country.

We would like to encourage those involved in condition monitoring in the Carolinas to also mention their work with CISA to any new recruits. When you recruit a friend or family member to become a CoCoRaHS observer, talk to them about submitting condition monitoring reports as well as daily precipitation measurements. Please have any new recruits contact us with questions or if they would like to learn more about the CoCoRaHS condition monitoring project. More information about March Madness can be found here.
