1
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:04,430
the International polar year which will

2
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:07,350
be launched in the winter of 2007-2008

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:11,849
is a international effort to bring

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:15,330
people together who do research are

5
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:18,410
interested in cultural aspects of and

6
00:00:26,179 --> 00:00:22,380
are interested in explaining to people

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:26,189
of the worlds in and outreach since all

8
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:29,250
about the polar regions and a global

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:31,800
snowflake network launched by the

10
00:00:36,530 --> 00:00:34,890
history of winter and intended to be an

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:36,540
outreach from the Goddard Space Flight

12
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:39,410
Center this being a valid scientific

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:42,230
project will also be a way in which

14
00:00:49,459 --> 00:00:45,690
people of the world wherever it snows

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:49,469
will be able to sense the the feeling of

16
00:00:57,459 --> 00:00:52,850
the International polar year the website

17
00:01:02,330 --> 00:00:57,469
will be a place where you come get an ID

18
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:02,340
that is uniquely your own and then go to

19
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:05,640
the part of the website where you'll be

20
00:01:12,039 --> 00:01:08,970
instructed on how to identify the

21
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:12,049
snowflakes and enter these snowflakes

22
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:16,470
into an archival database

23
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:19,220
and when you do that you realized you're

24
00:01:25,370 --> 00:01:21,750
communicating without about snowflakes

25
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:25,380
coming out of snowstorms with people all

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:28,860
over the world I've talked to scientists

27
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:31,890
including the Goddard snow scientists

28
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:34,560
and they endorse this they see the

29
00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:38,190
potential for this contributing to their

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:40,500
understanding of the snow water

31
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:42,810
equivalent in different snow falls all

32
00:01:49,219 --> 00:01:46,080
over the earth and as as as you progress

33
00:01:51,140 --> 00:01:49,229
through the process of being part of the

34
00:01:54,859 --> 00:01:51,150
global snowflake network you will learn

35
00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:54,869
a lot about meteorology and science

36
00:01:59,900 --> 00:01:56,700
principles that have to do with latent
