Weather Research
cOcorahs
CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network) is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail, and snow). LLNF has been contributing our rain data to this community project since 2014!

National Atmospheric Deposition Program
LLNF is also a National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Collection Site. As part of this project, staff from the Nantucket Land Council collect a rain sample every week from the station at the LLNF property and ship it off the island for chemical analysis. It’s just as important to know what’s in the precipitation as well as how much there is.
NOAA COOP Station
The NOAA Cooperative Weather Observer (COOP) program is one of the nation’s oldest and largest weather networks. LLNF participates in the program by submitting our daily weather observations. It was established in 1891 to formalize the collection of meteorological observations and record climate conditions in the United States based on the ideas of Thomas Jefferson. Since then, over 10,000 volunteers have been part of the program.

Weather Station
In 2023, LLNF installed our first personal weather station. Our weather station includes instruments for measuring temperature, relative humidity, pressure, rainfall, wind speed, and direction.
