Director
of the National Weather Service, retired Brig. General David L.
Johnson said, “Cooperative observers are the bedrock of weather
data collection and analysis. Satellites, high-speed computers,
mathematical models and other technological breakthroughs have brought
great benefits to the nation in terms of better forecast and warnings.
But with out the century-long accumulation of accurate weather observations
taken by volunteer observers, scientists could not begin to adequately
describe the climate of the United States.
