Exhibit Summary
Atmospheric Circulation is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Earth & Planet category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
This display restores the global atmospheric circulation layout via dynamic light boxes, allowing the audience to watch and grasp the atmospheric movement on the earth; an hands-on platform is set up to lead the audience to discover the principles of atmospheric movement in the atmosphere via video interpretation, grasp the role of temperature changes on atmospheric movement, and stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for exploring atmospheric movement.
Operation
Atmospheric circulation refers to a world-scale, large-scale atmospheric operation phenomenon. The average state of atmospheric movement in a large area (such as Eurasia, the hemisphere, the world), a certain atmospheric layer (such as the troposphere, stratosphere, middle layer, and the entire atmosphere) over a long period of time (such as months, seasons, years, and years) or the changing process of atmospheric movement in a certain period of time (such as a week, during a rainy season) can be called atmospheric circulation. Thermodynamic circulation is an air circulation formed due to uneven cold and heat on the ground. It is the simplest form of atmospheric circulation and is embodied in three typical thermodynamic circulation phenomena: land and sea breeze, valley wind, and urban wind. (1) Sea and land breeze - Due to the difference in the specific heat capacity of the ocean and the land, the thermal properties of the ocean and the land are different. (2) Valley wind - due to topography, valley wind is reflected in the temperature difference between the hillside-valley and the mountain-plain during the alternation of day and night. (3) Urban wind - due to the process of urbanization, there is a large difference in heat between rural areas and urban centers, causing a local thermal circulation. The displays are composed of dynamic light boxes and multimedia hands-on countertops, focusing on the science principles of atmospheric movement and global atmospheric movement. Through the dynamic light box image of the loop demonstration, the principles of the earth's atmospheric circulation can be more intuitively popularized.
