We have it set up at SMM through summer after which it will travel
with the Water Planet exhibit. In the Education department our
teachers would like to use the weather data and the 2005 hurricane
season segment for disaster camp. What we don't have is data for a
platetechtonics visualization. THAT would be useful. For our camps
and as it sits next to paleo for the public. In Minnesota we have
Ordovician fossils so to see the ocean over the continent would be
enlightening. I have been told it is proprietary and we can't use it.
I can tell you people are awestruck.
Personally i oriented myself to the US first and then looked at how
the cloud systems moved around the sphere. Because the US is high on
the globe it reinforces that the US is not he most important place on
the earth but a area of the whole system. When we first saw it the
fact that the US was not the easiest to view felt unusual.
