Science on a Sphere Shows

The Aquarium has created several shows for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Science on a Sphere, a system that displays NOAA datasets, such as global sea surface temperature, satellite views of storm systems, and other visualizations on a 6 foot-diameter sphere. The Aquarium’s shows are displayed on a Science on a Sphere located in its Ocean Science Center.

The Aquarium’s shows that are available in the SOS Explorer app include:

• Aquaculture
• Extreme Weather
• Fukushima and Our Radioactive Ocean
• The Only Thing that is Constant is Change
• Resilient Cities: Key to Thriving on a Changing Planet
• The Story of El Nino
• The World’s Water

To view the shows and NOAA datasets, download the SOS Explorer app and find the titles in the list on the left side of the screen.
