Scripps Ocean Atmosphere Research Simulator: The Culmination of 60 Years of Science and Engineering in the Scripps Hydraulics Laboratory

We're so excited for our upcoming Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture — Scripps Ocean Atmosphere Research Simulator: The Culmination of 60 Years of Science and Engineering in the Scripps Hydraulics Laboratory.

Over the years, scientists and engineers have teamed up to tackle tough ocean research questions and find innovative solutions. This collaboration is especially evident in the 60-year legacy of the Hydraulics Lab (HLab) at Scripps now home to the Scripps Ocean Atmosphere Research Simulator (SOARS). SOARS is a unique installation that allows scientists to simulate varying ocean environments by controlling winds, waves, water chemistry, temperature, light and more.

Join us as veteran HLab engineer Douglas Alden and SOARS Principal Investigator Grant Deane share how this groundbreaking technology reflects decades of collaboration between ocean researchers and engineers to better understand our changing oceans.
