Welcome to the NWS Albuquerque Cooperative Observer webpage. It was developed to highlight the important work cooperative observers do and make access to their data, as well as other sources of weather and climate data, easier for our customers. Weather data comes from a wide variety of sources, including satellite, remote sensors, radars, automated observing stations, and volunteer cooperative observers.  Each and every day, a wide spectrum of users access these weather data to solve problems and plan their lives. Whether it is a rancher in northeast New Mexico, a climate scientist in Europe, or a weather enthusiast in New York, the weather data our cooperative observers collect has a profound impact on society.   ..
