00:00:11,113 --> 00:00:14,341
It's now easier than ever to be a part of weather research!

3
00:00:14,505 --> 00:00:17,450
We've just launched the mPING app for both iPhone

4
00:00:17,604 --> 00:00:19,634
and Android users and it's totally free.

00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:23,375
PING, which stands for Precipitation Identification

6
00:00:23,502 --> 00:00:26,216
Near the Ground, is a research project by the

7
00:00:26,321 --> 00:00:28,070
NOAA National Severe Storms Lab

8
00:00:28,189 --> 00:00:29,875
and the University of Oklahoma.

00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:32,461
With the mobile app, you can send us your

10
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:34,205
weather observations on the go.

11
00:00:34,599 --> 00:00:36,470
Are snowflakes fallin' on your head?

12
00:00:36,725 --> 00:00:38,229
Is hail hitting your car?

13
00:00:38,579 --> 00:00:42,272
Just select what type of precipitation is falling and press submit.

14
00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:46,656
It's that easy! It takes about 5 seconds and it's anonymous.

15
00:00:47,061 --> 00:00:48,918
Reports can then be viewed online.

16
00:00:49,447 --> 00:00:51,729
Our scientists will compare your report with

17
00:00:51,861 --> 00:00:53,174
what the radar has detected.

18
00:00:53,442 --> 00:00:57,084
This helps us develop new radar technologies and techniques.

19
00:00:57,613 --> 00:01:00,224
Download the app today, share your reports

20
00:01:00,403 --> 00:01:02,990
