In the next Tech Talk presentation on November 20 2024 (11:00am AST-11:45 am AST), we will explore how the NWS uses CoCoRaHS data and how it benefits other agencies. The presentation will show how the NWS uses CoCoRaHS data to corroborate radar estimates, for local weather reports as well as in support of the NWS COOP program, among others. In addition, we presented how the US Drought Monitor includes CoCoRaHS data for the weekly creation of maps showing drought areas across our island.
