Climatological records get more valuable with time.
The climatological base generated through the efforts of the volunteer Cooperative Weather Observer provides not only the cornerstone of our nation's weather history, but also serves as the primary data for research into global climatic change. On a local level, the observations received by volunteer observers are fundamental in helping the NWS to protect life and property. Forecasts are often based on observer data, and even warnings for severe weather have been issued based on information received from a volunteer. There it is entered into a huge national database that is accessible by the public. This section is dedicated to the hard working and dedicated volunteers across southeast Arizona who are apart of this nationwide COOP network.
