Network Overview

COOP stations have minimal instrumentation but often have long periods of record for two key weather parameters: daily temperatures and precipitation. Observations are made once per day, and may be recorded automatically or manually by a volunteer observer. Hand-coded observations may take several months to become available online, while computer-submitted ones should show up by the next day.

Network Operated By:
