New smart phone app lets public report rain, hail, sleet and snow to NOAA.
What in the devil is Weather Wizard talking about now?
An app for our mobile phones so the average Joe can be a part of the National Severe Storm Advisory and anonymously report precipitation from their Apple or Android mobile device. Don’t they have enough weather people now?
In conjunction with the University of Oklahoma and NOAA mPING Mobil Phone App is a downloadedable app for Iphones and Android mobile devices. mPING stands for mobile Precipitation Identification Near the Ground. NSSL and OU researchers will use the mPING submissions to build a valuable database of tens of thousands of observations from across the United States.
With the mPING app, anyone can send a weather observation on the go. The user simply opens the app, selects the type of precipitation that is falling at his or her location, and presses submit. The user’s location and the time of the observation are automatically included in the report.
All submissions will become part of a research project called PING – Precipitation Identification Near the Ground. NSSL and OU researchers will use the mPING submissions to build a valuable database of tens of thousands of observations from across the United States.
All reports in the PING database, both past and real-time, can be viewed on the project’s web site. This allows anyone to see all observations in time and space to better identify the locations where hazardous forms of precipitation exist.
Many thanks for NOAA’s web site on the mPING reporting and allowing private citizens gain the brief rush of contributing to something important. We have attached several websites for more information regarding the National Severe Storms Weather Advisory.
