Since things are just drying out in some parts of the country, we would like to see weekly data come in for another month, if possible, and all summer long if your school is in session. We did not get as much participaation as we had hoped and this may limit how well we can compare your data to the CIRA satellite data. I have all the data submitted through early May on-line at: http://www.hwr.arizona.edu/globe/sci/dataqc.html Please take a look and let me know if you see any problems. We will try this again next Fall and we hope to have you all participate again. Thanks for your hard work! Any comments you have on this effort will help us design a better regional investigation next time. Have a safe summer! ----------------------- Cheers ----------------- Jim Washburne GLOBE Soil Moisture Scientist/ jwash@hwr.arizona.edu Department of Hydrology and Water Resources Harshbarger Bldg. #11, Rm 308 OR P.O.
