Subject: FREE Global Data Available from the NASA/GSFC DAAC
Global Satellite and Environmental Data
Available from NASA's Mission to Planet Earth Program
The Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) at Goddard Space Flight Center
gives away data for studying and learning about Earth's atmospheric dynamics,
upper atmosphere, oceans, and vegetation. You can use these data to study
* greenhouse global warming
* deforestation and desertification and their role in
climate change
* ozone depletion
* El Nino effect on weather and climate
* impact of volcano eruptions on ozone concentration
* the role of oceans in global climate
and more. Goddard DAAC products are provided at no cost and are many available
ON LINE from our World Wide Web (WWW) site:
