Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center
The ORNL DAAC (Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center) for
EOSDIS data centers process, archive, and distribute data collected during Earth Observing System (EOS) satellite and field missions.[5] They also develop tools for accessing data, provide user services, promote data usage, and collect metrics on the use of data and user satisfaction. The ORNL DAAC specializes on data and information relevant to terrestrial biogeochemistry, ecology, and environmental processes, which are critical to understanding the dynamics of Earth's biological, geological, and chemical components.
As provided on the website,[6]
The mission of the ORNL DAAC is to assemble, distribute, and provide data services for a comprehensive archive of terrestrial biogeochemistry and ecological dynamics observations and models to facilitate research, education, and decision-making in support of NASA's Earth Science.
The ORNL DAAC is listed in the
