Abstract:

The National Center for Atmospheric Research provides a computer-accessible archive for use by scientists, teachers, and students. The archive contains over 400 datasets of observations and analyses. NCAR staff in the Data Support Section of the Scientific Computing Division add new datasets and update existing ones to support the needs of the research community. A major strength of NCAR's data archives is the variety and versatility of its data collection. Frequently used datasets include:
        • Gridded Atmospheric Analyses
        • Satellite Data
        • Climate Model Data for Assessment Studies
        • Long-Term Climate, Climate Trend, and Variability Data
        • Reanalysis of World Data
        • Ocean Data.
        • Geophysical Datasets

          Many small datasets are accessible over the Internet at no charge. The entire archive is stored on the NCAR Mass Storage System (MSS). For a fee based on data volume, requested data can be moved from the MSS to disk for Internet access or copied to various media for distribution. Users of the NCAR computer systems may use data directly from the MSS.
