CICS-MD has been using spherical displays to reach out to the public. Spherical displays show weather and climate features moving across its surface. The data are used to educate visitors of all ages, school groups, or other audiences about Earth systems and how they relate to the environment. CICS makes presentations at Maryland Day, the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, and the National Zoo.

The EarthNow project, a collaboration among CICS-MD, CIMSS and NOAA EVL, provides a near real-time weather and climate stories for spherical displays, including a web-based blog, tailored to SOS sites in museums and science centers around the world.
