The Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) have been selected by NASA to process,
archive and distribute Earth Observing System (EOS) and related data. They also
provide a full range of support to global change researchers. The various
DAACs and
cooperating data centers and their discipline responsibilities are listed as follows:
- Alaska Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Facility (ASF) DAAC
- Polar processes and SAR products
- EROS Data Center (EDC) Land Processes DAAC
- Land processes
- Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) DAAC
- Upper atmosphere, global biosphere, atmospheric dynamics, and geophysics
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Physical Oceanography DAAC (PO-DAAC)
- Physical oceanography
- Langley Research Center (LaRC) DAAC
- Radiation budget, tropospheric chemistry, clouds, and aerosols
- National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) DAAC
- Snow and ice, cryosphere (non-SAR) and climate
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) DAAC
- Biogeochemical dynamics
- Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) at the Consortium for
International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)
- Human interactions in the environment
- Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) at Marshall Space Flight Center
- Hydrological cycle
- National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) of National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)
- Climate and weather
- National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) of National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)
