Making international data accessible for atmospheric research

April 13, 2022

Atmospheric researchers around the world depend on getting quick access to timely, usable data, and thousands of them turn to the NCAR Research Data Archive (RDA) to get what they need. Some 3,600 users have downloaded 2.7 petabytes of data via web access alone in the past 15 months.

To make that possible, CISL’s RDA data engineers and curators download, process, archive, and make massive data sets available to the community. The process is ongoing, as reanalyses in some cases are updated monthly or more frequently. For some examples of available data sets, where and how to get them, and for information on RDA logistical and scientific support, see this new CISL article.
