r3d100010505 Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center PO.DAAC https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/ biodbcore-001567 The Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) is an element of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). The EOSDIS provides science data to a wide community of users for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Since the launch of NASA's first ocean-observing satellite, Seasat, in 1978, PO.DAAC has become the premier data center for measurements focused on ocean surface topography (OST), sea surface temperature (SST), ocean winds, sea surface salinity (SSS), gravity, ocean circulation and sea ice.In addition to providing access to its data holdings, PO.DAAC acts as a gateway to data stored at other ocean and climate archives. This and other tools and services enable PO.DAAC to support a wide user community working in areas such as ocean and climate research, applied science and industry, natural resource management, policy making, and general public consumption. podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov disciplinary institutional 1978 eng 3 Natural Sciences 313 Atmospheric Science and Oceanography 31301 Atmospheric Science 31302 Oceanography 315 Geophysics and Geodesy 318 Water Research 34 Geosciences (including Geography) https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/AboutPodaac Databases Images Plain text Raw data Scientific and statistical data formats Software applications Structured graphics dataProvider aerosols coastal dust fire geodetic gravity hurricanes and storms ocean circulation ocean seasurface topography OST ocean temperature ocean winds salinity density sea surface salinity SSS sediments see surface temperature SST snow and ice EarthCube Council of Data Facilities CDF USA general non-profit https://www.earthcube.org/group/council-data-facilities https://www.earthcube.org/contact/General-Inquiries NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory JPL USA general technical non-profit https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/contact_JPL.php podaac@podaac.jpl.nasa.gov National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA USA funding non-profit https://www.nasa.gov/ http://www.nasa.gov/about/contact/index.html#.UkQ4eKyMfPU Caltech/JPL Web Privacy Policy and Important Notices https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/copyrights.cfm ESDS Data and Information Policy https://earthdata.nasa.gov/collaborate/open-data-services-and-software/data-information-policy JPL Image Use Policy https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/imagepolicy/ open open Copyrights https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/privacy/web/ other https://earthdata.nasa.gov/collaborate/open-data-services-and-software/data-information-policy restricted other unknown https://opendap.jpl.nasa.gov/opendap/ https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/ws http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/podaac_thredds DOI https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/CitingPODAAC unknown yes other CF (Climate and Forecast) Metadata Conventions http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards/cf-climate-and-forecast-metadata-conventions DIF - Directory Interchange Format http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards/dif-directory-interchange-format https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/rss/index.php Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center is a regular member of ICSU World Data System - WDS 2013-09-26 2021-11-16
