Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
Goal: A general public who understands current climate issues and the
importance of satellite data in monitoring the Earth System

Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
• 110+ SOS sites around the world• Museums, visitors centers, universities, and K-12 school systems• Estimated 35 Million visitors per year see SOS• Variety of programming: autorun, live shows by science staff or non-science staff

Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
http://sos.noaa.gov
• large and growing catalog of SOS datasets managed by NOAA ESRL in Boulder
• global satellite and model data
• autorun movies
• using the sphere for science, art
• importance of storytelling
What currently exists for SOS?

Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
Maryland Science Center, Baltimore MD
• fresh, relevant SOS content, current news items even better
• engaging format, easy for the public to understand
• autorun movies - docents not available in all locations and may lack background knowledge
• investigations to accompany SOS and enhance learning with hands-on component
What do SOS sites want?

Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
• Collaboration between UMD, NOAA, NASA
• Used on SOS or as a web reference by docents, teachers, public, policymakers
• Evaluation guides development
Official press release planned for October

Using satellite data on Science On a Sphere® at museums to inform society through ClimateBits
• Creating hands-on investigations in collaboration with NASA GSFC using NESO (NASA Earth & Space Observations):• works with data displayed on SOS using an iPad app• answer questions about SOS data: How does it vary over time and space?• data analysis tool (point, line, region)
What else?

In a case study, groups who saw SOS gained certain concepts better (e.g. atmospheric and oceanic circulation, changes over time)
What does the public learn from Science On a Sphere?
