If you are already sending data to internet sites (like Weather Underground), then all you will need to do is sign up with CWOP, receive a unique station identifier, and make a few minor configuration changes within your weather station's software to tell it to send your data to the CWOP (see the instructions manual for your weather station/software). Check with your weather station's vendor for details about the software needed to do this. First you will need compatible software for your weather station that will allow it to send data to the internet.

"I'm interested! So, what do I need to do?", you ask. You may occasionally need to hit the Refresh button on the lower right side below the map.) If your weather station is in an area where few or no other stations exist, then we need your help! 100% means all stations are displayed at that zoom level. (Note: the "Stations displayed" section at the bottom left of the screen displays the percentage of stations visible.

More stations will appear as you zoom in. Pan and zoom around on the map to see weather stations near you. To see a map of weather stations which make up the MADIS database, you can go HERE or click on the map below. MADIS is a vast database of meteorological observations collected and shared around the world. Weather observations that are sent to CWOP are ingested into the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System or MADIS. So your observations, especially those in the more remote areas of Colorado, are extremely valuable! These data are also ingested into computer forecast models, which lead to more accurate forecasts and warnings for your area.
