30 Yr Service Award |
 |
| |
| Mr.
Russell Carter of Evening Shade, Arkansas has been a cooperative observer for
the National Weather Service for 30 years. He has collected
temperature and rainfall data on a daily basis, with his measurements sent
to the National Climatic
Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina. The data is eventually published to become a part of the
permanent record of the world's weather. The temperature and rainfall data collected by Mr.
Carter is very important to the National Weather Service. Future weather
and river forecasts are partly based on the data he sends, with the data
helping to increase the accuracy of the forecasts.
For his efforts,
Mr. Carter received a 30 Year Length-of-Service Award on May 24, 2007. |
