Mr. Bobby Cagle
of Clarksville, Arkansas (the Clarksville Water Plant) has been a cooperative observer for
the National Weather Service (NWS) for 15 years (as of January, 2000). For his efforts,
Mr. Cagle received a 15 Year Length-of-Service Award. Mr. Cagle and the crew at
the Clarksville Water Plant collect temperature and rainfall data on a daily basis and
send their 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. |
