EOSDIS Atmosphere Data
Atmosphere discipline data sets focus primarily on characterizing the Earth’s troposphere and stratosphere. Within those layers occur many geophysical processes involving clouds, aerosols, precipitation, lightning, chemistry, temperature, radiation balance, and dynamics. Interactions of the atmosphere with land and ocean surfaces, and with solar radiation also fall within this discipline. NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) hold atmosphere data sets, some of which overlap other disciplines, such as Land and Ocean. The primary DAACs specializing in atmospheric products are the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC), Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) and Level-1 and Atmosphere Archive and Distribution System DAAC (LAADS DAAC). Several other DAACs also hold atmospheric data as they relate to their respective disciplines. Near real-time data for Atmosphere applications can be found at Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE).

Webinar: Discover and Access Atmospheric Data from NASA's ASDC DAAC
This webinar will provide an overview of the ASDC and its holdings and a “Real World” Workflow, from data selection and ordering through visualization, using data from the TES (Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer) instrument aboard the Aura satellite.

Webinar: Improving Accessibility and Use of NASA Earth Science Data
Many of NASA's Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) multidimensional tropospheric and atmospheric chemistry data products (such as MOPITT, MISR, CERES, CALIPSO, and TES) etc, are stored in HDF4, HDF5 or NetCDF format, which traditionally have been difficult to analyze and visualize with geospatial tools. This webinar shows how to leverage geospatial applications such as ArcGIS, OPeNDAP, and ncWMS in the production of Earth science information and in increasing data accessibility and usability.
