The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), in collaboration with the NOAA Environmental Visualization Lab and the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS-MD) created the EarthNow blog in support of Science On a Sphere (SOS) docents to enable meaningful visitor experiences around weather and climate events affecting society. Several relevant weather and climate feature stories were produced to assist SOS facilitators making connections between current events and global change. Climate Digest are produced seasonally.
