Abstract:

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) was established by NOAA in 1982 to serve as a national information and referral center in support of glaciological research. NSIDC archives digital and analog snow and ice data. Information is maintained about snow cover and avalanches, glaciers and ice sheets, floating ice, ground ice and permafrost, atmospheric ice, paleoglaciology and ice cores.

          Data products are available from NISDC in the following specific subject areas: brightness, climate, elevation, GIS, glaciers, hydrology, ice cores, icebergs, lake ice, meteorology, modeling, oceans, permafrost/frozen ground, paleoclimate, polar atmosphere, radiation, remote sensing data/satellite imagery, sea ice, snow, soils, temperatures, and vegetation.

          How To Access The Data

          There are two ways to access the data:

          1. Users can browse this entire online data collection at no cost through the NISDG web site. Browsing can be done by subject or title, or browsing of portions of NSIDC's Data Catalog can be done by project name, collection method, or funding agency including NASA (NSIDC DAAC Data Guide), NOAA, and NSF (ARCSS Data and Information Archive).

          2. NISDC creates and distributes data products on CD-ROM and other media.
