I'd never heard of river observers, but it makes sense that there would need to be a way to collect weather data to be used by the meteorologists. Do you know if the river observers did other analysis and prediction work or was this just a side gig where they sent in their daily measurements and then had an unrelated job?

This is an excellent piece of historical writing, pulling together so much context. As I learn more about this place, its history, and the people who lived there, I care more and more about what will happen to them. Essential reading.
