The SOS team, mobile application

Hilary Peddicord, Beth Wehe, and Jonathan Joyce (in NOAA’s Global Systems Laboratory) created a new, free app for mobile devices, which displays Science On a Sphere®️ (SOS) visual data. The app brings the educational SOS tool found in science centers and museums across the country to a vastly larger, worldwide audience. The team developed innovative software solutions to minimize data transfer requirements, enabling SOS display on mobile devices across networks that may not be high speed.
