Interpretation of Real-time Weather and Climate for Spherical Displays

Abstract: 

The Interpretation of Real-time Weather and Climate for Spherical Displays (EarthNow) project from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) allows Science On a Sphere (SOS) institutions to go beyond the scientific facts to create meaningful visitor experiences about weather and climate connections. CIMSS, in collaboration with the NOAA Environmental Visualization Lab and the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites, regularly updates a blog-style website, providing a central location for SOS facilitators to find timely weather and climate stories to speak about how current events affect and are affected by global change. Along with these stories, the website also provides relevant, visually appealing SOS-formatted datasets and animations with appropriate annotations, leading to easier comprehension by presenters and the public.
