A massive new simulator brings 36,000 gallons of seawater into the laboratory to create the world’s most sophisticated replica ocean. The Scripps Ocean-Atmosphere Research Simulator (SOARS) at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography gives scientists the ability to replicate what takes place in the ocean while controlling conditions. SOARS can mimic polar to tropical conditions, create near-hurricane force winds, and enable study of microscopic ocean life. With SOARS, scientists can observe present-day conditions and determine how our ocean and atmosphere will respond to a changing climate.
