Volunteers of all ages wanted to help scientists study storms. The exploration begins in your back yard with CoCoRaHS!
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) of Mississippi needs you! This CoCoRaHS program is presented by the Department of Geosciences at MS State University. Everyone can participate — young, old, and in-between.
If you possess an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives, this is a perfect opportunity for you.
