CoCo RaHS has several goals. The size, intensity and duration and preferred tracks of summer rain and hail storms in northern Colorado will begin to be documented by surface measurements in more detail than ever before. This, in turn will help improve radar estimates of rainfall and radar detection of hail and hail swaths. Training and education opportunities for students and community members will be provided to improve local awareness of severe weather and other natural hazards to help make this area more resistant to the impacts from natural disasters. Finally, we plan to demonstrate that students and other volunteers in northern Colorado can work together to make a significant and beneficial contribution to scientific research.
Kids can make a difference.
