Abstract:

Established as part of NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) initiative to promote the interdisciplinary study and understanding of the integrated Earth system. Research performed by Earth and global change scientists investigating the conditions and processes that affect land-atmosphere and land-ocean interactions is supported by enhanced access to archived data and data products. Information about and procedures for obtaining these data are provided through the EOSDIS Information Management System.

          There are several DAACs, each with particular disciplines, including:
        • Alaska SAR Facility (Polar processes, Synthetic Aperture Radar)
        • NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Upper atmosphere, global biosphere, atmospheric dynamics, geophysics)
        • Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Physical oceanography)
        • NASA Langley Research Center (Radiation budget, tropospheric chemistry, clouds, aerosols)
        • NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (Hydrologic cycle)
        • National Snow and Ice Data Center (Snow and ice, cryosphere and climate)
        • Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Biogeochemical dynamics)
        • CIESIN (SEDAC) (Social and natural science)
        • EROS Data Center (Land Processes)
