National Weather Service - Little Rock, Arkansas...Mr. Richard Bailey (10 Yr Service Award)

Mr. Richard Bailey of Morrilton, Arkansas has been a cooperative observer for the National Weather Service (NWS) for 10 years (as of February, 2001). During that time, he collected temperature and rainfall data on a daily basis and sent his measurements to the NWS. The measurements become part of a national database and are eventually published (for use by business, government agencies and the general public) by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina.

Mr. Bailey is one of the many cooperative observers who provides data used by the National Weather Service to make a more accurate weather forecast. His data is also used to support river forecasting as well as the agricultural, construction and recreational interests in his area.

For his efforts, Mr. Bailey received a 10 Year Length-of-Service Award.
