The CoCoRAHS Era and an Upper Level Low

9/20/2007 The upper low pattern now deepens from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Now little light showers continue to dot the region with only a few areas receiving only an inch of rain. It is these patterns that are the Murphy's Law of the atmosphere. The general area has much rain, while a local area or locale may not receive any beneficial moisture at all. This clause is one of the main reasons why we are in an extreme drought. This is also another bad test of CoCoRAHS of which I spoke of in my last blog. I've finally worked out the specs for CoCoRAHS and I am about ready to add my locale to its increasingly large network. Anyone can join this network that is interested. I have made a link here so that anyone who wants to join this rain gauge network. CoCoRAHS has its own blog and a cool store with witty T-Shirts sometimes at hand. Also, you can sign up for their e-mail newsletter The Catch. I think that this is a great voluteer program for the public |
