Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) - The Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC), home of the GES Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) is one of eight NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) DAACs that offer Earth science data, information, and services to research scientists, applications scientists, applications users, and students. The GES DAAC is the home (archive) of Ocean Color, Hydrology, Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics, and information, as well as data and information from other related disciplines. The GES DISC is located at Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Goddard Earth Sciences DISC - Atmosphere - This portal is designed to facilitate overall access, visualization and use of atmospheric composition and dynamics data sets in carrying out the atmospheric chemistry studies and in the studies of the dynamics of polar regions that play crucial role in the ozone hole formation. Primary data sets include Aura HIRDLS MLS, and OMI, (the EOS chemistry mission launched July 15, 2004), Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) products, as well as data sets from other missions dedicated to studying the chemistry, dynamics and solar interactions of the upper atmosphere. Data sets from the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE). Atmospheric data sets from MODIS, AIRS/AMSU, TOVS, Goddard Modelling Assimilation Office (GMAO) are also available from ACDISC.

Goddard Earth Sciences DISC - Ocean Data - The Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) is more than a data archive; it is a vital resource with global connections to the oceanographic research community. Oceans data from the GES DISC has been used, and is constantly being used, for numerous scientific investigations in the oceanic realm.
The early activities of the GES DISC (formerly the Distributed Active Archive Center, or DAAC) established it as a preeminent source of oceanographic data. The Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) data archive was an unprecedented source of data for biological oceanography. The archive of oceanographic data grew with the data from SeaWiFS, OCTS, and MODIS, and MODIS data includes sea surface temperature, a basic data element for studies in physical oceanography. Data from other instruments, such as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sensor (AIRS), provide data that can be used to investigate the energetics of ocean-atmosphere interaction.
In addition to its role as a data archive, the GES DISC is now pioneering methods to function as a research partner, providing data, analysis tools, and expert advice to assist and augment the efforts of scientists around the world.

Goddard Earth Sciences DISC - Radiance Data - The Goddard Earth Sciences Distributed Active Archive Center (GES DAAC) has been archiving and distributing Radiance data, and serving science and application users of these data, for over 10 years now. The user-focused stewardship of the Radiance data from the AIRS, AVHRR, MODIS, SeaWiFS, SORCE, TOMS, TOVS, TRMM, and UARS instruments exemplifies the GES DAAC tradition and experience. Radiance data include raw radiance counts, onboard calibration data, geolocation products, radiometric calibrated and geolocated-calibrated radiance/reflectance. This site describes the effort at the GES DAAC to build a bridge between multi-sensor data and the effective scientific use of the data, with an emphasis on the heritage of the science products. The intent is to inform users of the existence of this large collection of Radiance data suggesting starting points for cross-platform science projects. This site concentrates in the Radiance data and products derived from the following NASA satellite and instruments: MODIS - MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer; AIRS - Atmospheric Infrared Sounder; TRMM - Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission; SeaWiFS - Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor; and Aura - OMI, MLS and HIRDLS.

Ocean AVHRR Pathfinder Project - The Ocean AVHRR Pathfinder Project is a joint NASA/NOAA venture to reprocess global AVHRR data for all available AVHRR data and produce global sea-surface
temperatures at a 9km x 9km resolution for the years 1980 to the present. The processing path is being defined at the University of Miami, in consultation with a six
person science working group. The product generation and distribution is handled by the Physical Oceanography DAAC at JPL.

Precipitation Data and Information Service Center (PDISC) - The Precipitation Data and Information Service Center (PDISC) at the Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) is designed to facilitate overall access to and use of NASA and related precipitation data sets. The site begins with data and product set selection and navigates the user through documentation, tools, science applications, instruments and links that directly contribute to the user's benefit.
