What is Data Latency?

Several factors affect the speed at which data are processed and made available to users. Here's how NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) defines data latency.

User Profile: Dr. Paul Siqueira

The ability for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to create high-resolution imagery regardless of atmospheric conditions makes it a key technology for studies of change over time. Dr. Paul Siqueira’s work improves these sensors and the Earth observing data they collect.

Keeping NASA EOSDIS Data Flowing (Even When the World is Telecommuting)

EOSDIS strategies for processing, archiving, and distributing NASA Earth observing data ensure that data are constantly available to global data users – regardless of world events.

New Saildrone Dataset at NASA’s PO.DAAC

Data from the Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC) shed new light on ocean-atmosphere interactions.

How Birds Respond to Extreme Weather

Extreme weather events such as heat waves and drought affect the presence of certain bird species.

New Global Food Insecurity Dataset at NASA's SEDAC

The dataset provides a picture of food insecurity over a 10-year period, in five global regions.

An Internship Like No Other

The experience may be different this summer, but almost a dozen interns are helping the ESDIS Project office and EOSDIS DAACs move vital work forward.

NASA Ecological Data Made Easy

NASA’s Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) has developed resources and tools to help researchers easily find, analyze, and visualize ecological data.

Data Chat: Mark McInerney

The technical requirements for moving NASA EOSDIS data into the commercial cloud are enormous. Mark McInerney oversees this effort and helps ensure these data are interoperable with similar data from other agencies.

A Stronger International Resource for Earth Science Data Discovery

Enhancements to NASA’s Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) create an even more powerful international resource for discovering Earth science data.

Webinar: Improving the DAAC User Experience with Cloud-based Capabilities

Event Date: July 23, 2020

This presentation will discuss NASA's Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) activities to transition the user experience to the cloud, how these efforts are being applied (e.g., tools, visualizations, and analysis), and how this supports users.
