Mini Marine Environment Chamber System (Mini-MECS) is a mesoscale marine climate and environment simulation experimental device with the parameter control function. Its main equipment is three large experiment chambers with a diameter of 3.2m and a height of 12.5m. It can be used to carry out large-scale marine environmental ecology scientific experiments, which can not only meet the huge demand for the marine mesoscale vertical process simulation, but also ensure the number of parallel comparisons required for scientific verification. Lots of engineering techniques have been applied to construct this large-scale experiment equipment, for example structural design, ocean temperature field simulation and control and multi-parameter joint measurement. This paper introduces its construction process, technologies and experiment applications.
