NASA's Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), one of NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), is located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. GES DISC provides access to a wide range of global climate data, concentrated primarily in the areas of atmospheric composition, atmospheric dynamics, global precipitation, and solar irradiance.
GES DISC supports data from many missions including Aqua, Aura, Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), and Earth Probe/Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometers (TOMS). GES DISC also provides data subsetting, exploration, visualization, and access services.
