The Second Life insider reports in
http://www.secondlifeinsider.com/2006/08/18/noaa-comes-to-second-life/
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Earth System
Research Laboratory (ESRL) have arrived in Second Life, and they brought all
the fun and excitement you have naturally come to expect from fluid dynamics!
In case you haven't been on any submarine rides lately, the NOAA is the
governmental agency tasked with researching the oceans, climate, weather, and
anything else having to do with gigantic masses of air and water. (Full
disclosure, I was part of this project.) The NOAA's sim is called Meteroa,
which is derived from the Greek adjective meteoras which means 'suspended in
the air' (Full disclosure, I'm Greek). On this lovely island sim you can find
fully interactive educational demonstrations about the ocean and weather.
Examples include a sea life submarine ride created by The Magicians, and two
different tsnuami demos by Aimee Weber Studios and Electric Sheep Company.
Other fun stuff includes a demonstration of a real-time temperature map powered
by Yahoo, narration by Exploratorium Chief Scientist Paul Doherty, an airplane
ride into a hurricane, and a melting glacier demonstration.
