One of the simplest #CitizenScience things people can do to help meteorologists is to download the mPING app and report what they’re seeing, including precipitation, wind damage, flooding, etc.

Reporting is quick and can be done as frequently as you’d like. Many NWS offices use these reports for situational awareness and to confirm how ground conditions compare to what’s on the #weather radar.

Available for both iOS and Android by searching mPING in the relevant app store.

@RadarScope users can submit mPING reports within that app by clicking the share button at the bottom of the screen and selecting mPING Report.

For both methods (mPING app and RadarScope) there is no login required and no personally identifiable information is sent.

#CitizenScience #weather

@ingalls I love mPINGing via @RadarScope. It’s just so smooth.

Spotter reporting too, if you’re registered.
