Tracking Climate in Your Backyard

Tracking Climate in Your Backyard provides materials and training to connect participants with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRAHS) project. Data collected by participants is displayed on the CoCoRaHS website and available for users to analyze and apply to daily situations – ranging from water resource analysis and severe storm warnings to neighbors comparing how much rain fell in their backyards.
