Weather Observer Needed!
The National Weather Service office in Buffalo, NY is looking for a
volunteer weather observer to take over the observing station in or within
5 miles of Osceola, NY. This observing station would be a part of the
National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Network (Coop Network). The
Coop Network comprises nearly 10,000 volunteer weather observers nationwide
that report rainfall, snowfall, and snow depth to the National Weather
Service on a daily basis. Data from Coop Network
helps scientists to define the long term climate
of the United States.
Observers take measurements of precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth
daily around 6 to 7 am. These measurements would be relayed daily to the
National Weather Service either via the Internet or a toll-free phone
number. These weather observations will be archived and used by future
climate and research studies.
You will be
provided with a rain gauge and snow measuring stick.
Your observations will assist the National Weather Service in its forecast
and warning efforts, climatologists defining the climate of the United
States and also help to predict drought
conditions, agricultural planning and assessment, and more.
If you are interested in helping us out or have any questions about the
duties of a Coop Observer, please contact us at the address below. You can
also contact us by calling 716-565-0204, or by sending an email to Dan.Kelly@noaa.gov .
