The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive
Center (DAAC) provides information about the Earth's biogeochemical
dynamics (the chemical interactions among the Earth's surface, water,
and air that produce changes in the Earth and its climate) to the
global change research community, policy makers, educators, and the
general interested public.

The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) at ORNL
provides information to help international researchers, policymakers,
and educators evaluate complex environmental issues, including
potential climate change associated with elevated levels of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and other radiatively active trace gases.

The Langley Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) archives and
distributes radiation budget, cloud, aerosol, and tropospheric
chemistry data to the general science community. Data are available
via FTP, tape and CD-ROM.
Products include data from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment
(ERBE), Surface Radiation Budget (SRB), International Satellite Cloud
Climatology Project (ISCCP), Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment
(SAGE), First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE), and Global
Tropospheric Experiment (GTE).

databases, including air pollution data, toxic chemical release data,
and geographic data.
