How is Science On a Sphere® used at NOAA?
Science On a Sphere® is used as a tool to help describe NOAA’s mission and display the results of research in a way that is both intuitive and compelling. At the NOAA Lab in Boulder, Colorado, SOS is included as part of nearly all public outreach activities. School groups on field trips, graduate and under-graduate students from local universities, researchers, and other visitors all have an opportunity to see SOS on pre-arranged tours of that facility. The typical SOS program lasts 30 minutes and is given by a live presenter.
