Abstract
Description:
WDC-RSAT is hosted and operated by the German Remote Sensing Data Center, DFD of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) under the nongovernmental auspices of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and is the most recent data center in the WMO-WDC family, in cooperation with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). WDC-RSAT cooperates with partners in establishing and making use of modern information technologies (e.g. Grid) in order to promote networking. It is already being implemented as a data publication agent for data related to remote sensing of the atmosphere and is thus authorized to assign so-called Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to data sets. The German ICSU WDCs (WDC-Climate, WDC-Mare, WDC-Terra, and WDC-RSAT) have formed in 2004 the 'WDC-Cluster on Earth System Research' in order to promote interdisciplinary research related to Earth sciences. Following the recommendations of the Committee of Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), WDC-RSAT is currently establishing in cooperation with NASA a portal for satellite-based atmospheric composition data (ACC) which ultimately will be integrated in the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
