CoCoRaHS: The North Dakota State University Soil Science Department is looking for volunteers for a statewide rain and snow reporting network.
CoCoRaHS is an acronym for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. Anyone with an interest in weather and access to the Internet can sign up. The only equipment needed is a cylindrical rain gauge available from the network for $22 plus shipping and a yardstick to measure snow depth. Each volunteer is asked to read the rain gauge every day at the same time and upload the measurement to the Web site.
To sign up, log on to www.cocorahs.org . Click on join CoCoRaHS under the main menu. Training slides are available under the resources menu.
For more information, call Mark Ewens at (701) 772-0720.
