The IOCs International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) was established in 1961 to enhance marine research, exploitation and development by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products. The IODE system forms a worldwide service oriented network consisting of DNAs (Designated National Agencies), NODCs (National Oceanographic Data Centres), RNODCs (Responsible National Oceanographic Data Centres) and WDCs (World Data Centres Oceanography). During the past 40 years, IOC Member States have established over 60 oceanographic data centres in as many countries. This network has been able to collect, control the quality of, and archive millions of ocean observations, and makes these available to Member States.

The physical climate as seen through a series of maps and analyses. The IRI Map Room offers many detailed analyses of current global and regional climate, as well as historical data. Many maps are linked directly to the IRI Data Library - for quick access to the data being viewed just click on the map. You will then be able to change dates, views, or even download the data. The map room is divided into 3 sections:Global - Current and past observations of the global physical climate including climatologies. Regional - Current and past observations of regional physical climate including climatologies. ENSO - Analyses for monitoring the current and past state of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

The Invasive Species Information Node (ISIN) is a data management portal for invasive plants, animals, and pathogens in the U.S. and a thematic node of the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII). It coordinates invasive species information from other NBII nodes, several USGS Science Centers, and other government and non-government partners. The ISIN is working to create an early detection and rapid response information system for the control of invasive species in the United States.

This database contains 39,866 records of specimens in the Invertebrate Paleontological collections at The Academy of Natural Sciences. The collection houses about 105,000 lots. Most of the type collection is listed in this database.

The internet Primate Aging Database (iPAD) is a multi-centered, relational database of biological variables in aging, captive nonhuman primates. Through joint initiative of the National Institute on Aging (intramural and extramural programs), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), and the National Primate Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (WNPRC), we have organized a database to study biomarkers of aging in nonhuman primates. iPAD also provides an invaluable veterinary and clinical resource, and can generate normative data for numbers of animals across research settings. iPAD now contains over 400,000 data points for body weight, blood chemistry and hematology, for healthy, non-experimental subjects across time.

The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction/Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (IRI/LDEO) Climate Data Library contains over 300 datasets from a variety of earth science disciplines and climate-related topics. It is a powerful tool that offers the following capabilities at no cost to the user: access any number of datasets; create analyses of data ranging from simple averaging to more advanced EOF analyses; monitor present climate conditions with maps and analyses in the Maproom; create visual representations of data, including animations; download data in a variety of commonly-used formats, including GIS-compatible formats.

Seismic Monitor allows you to monitor global earthquakes in near real-time, visit seismic stations around the world, and search the web for earthquake or region-related information. You can also view seismograms and make dataset requests via its WILBER interface.

JISAO is the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington. The climate data archive consists of gridded data sets of spatial and temporal variability; key climate time series (North Atlantic Oscillation, northeast Brazil rainfall, etc.); links to web sites for other data; and links to websites which provide software to analyze data.

Located at Naval Base Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is the U. S. Department of Defense agency responsible for issuing tropical cyclone warnings for the Pacific and Indian Oceans. JTWC products on this website are intended for use by U.S. government agencies. Please consult your national meteorological agency or the appropriate World Meteorological Organization Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for tropical cyclone products pertinent to your country, region and/or local area.

The Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) is a national network intended to facilitate ecological and environmental research on biocomplexity. For scientists, the KNB is an efficient way to discover, access, interpret, integrate and analyze complex ecological data from a highly-distributed set of field stations, laboratories, research sites, and individual researchers.

The Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA) is a multi-mission NASA center of expertise for cosmic microwave background radiation research. LAMBDA exists to serve the CMB research community, and the greater cosmological research community. This site provides CMB researchers with archive data from NASA missions, software tools, and links to other sites of interest.

The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Deep-Sea Sample Repository is an archive of sediment and rocks from beneath the ocean floor. The material is used for marine geology and oceanography research in climate, environment, and other deep-sea studies as well as for education.

Welcome to the Genesis Mission data website. Genesis was a solar-wind sample return mission that collected ions on large-area ultrapure substrates between November 30, 2001, and April 1, 2004 at the L1 point. The solar-wind ions embedded themselves in the top 100 nm of ultrapure substrates that were returned to Earth by capsule September 8, 2004. A key aspect of the mission was to collect separate samples of different types of solar wind--interstream, coronal hole, and coronal mass ejection. To distinguish these types in real time the spacecraft is equipped with a Genesis Electron Monitor (GEM) and a Genesis Ion Monitor (GIM). This website exists to provide you with the GIM & GEM data set. In addition to L1 data, the Monitors collected data during the outbound phase of the mission, from August 24 to mid-November, 2001, and during the return phase, between April 1 and August 4, 2004, during which Genesis flew by the Earth and out to the L2 point.

Academic seismic reflection and refraction data center. Metadata and data from seismic cruises worldwide. The purpose of this project was to organize UTIG seismic reflection data into a modern relational database management system accessible through the Internet. The system is designed principally for academic scientific use. Users include scientists, research staff and students from around the world that have high bandwidth Internet access. The main features include using Excel files to enter and update metadata, which are uploaded into mySQL, a public-domain SQL server, and then PHP scripts query the metadata and directories, creating web pages, displaying images, and providing ftp links.
