EROS Data Center at the U.S. Geological Survey
The EROS Data Center is home to the U.S. National Satellite Land Remote Sensing Data Archive. The EROS Data Center is managed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs)
Processes, archives, documents, and distributes Earth science and socioeconomic data.

Biogeochemical Dynamics Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC)
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)/NASA DAAC provides biogeochemical and ecological data for use in studying environmental processes. Data were collected on the ground, from aircraft, and by satellite, or generated by computer models.

USDOC/NOAA/NESDIS/National Geophysical Data Center
Manages environmental data in the fields of marine geology and geophysics, paleoclimatology, solar-terrestrial physics, solid earth geophysics, and glaciology (snow and ice).

USGS Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) User's Guide
Access data from the EO-1 satellite at the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC)
As an information and referral center in support of polar and cryospheric research, NSIDC archives and distributes digital and analog snow, ice, and glaciological data.

NASA-Langley Atmospheric Sciences Data Center (ASDC)
The ASDC processes, archives and distributes data from instruments measuring clouds, aerosols, tropospheric chemistry, and Earth's radiation budget.

Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC)
Provides data, data related services, and data support for global environmental change research and education. Funded through NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) as a source of information about the upper atmosphere, atmospheric dynamics, and the global biosphere.

NASA-JPL Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO-DAAC)
Distribution of data for sea surface temperature, sea surface topography, and ocean vector winds acquired by NASA instruments.

High-resolution Shoreline Database
Information on digital coastline and shorelines data available from various sources. Provided by the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) Marine Geology and Geophysics Division and collocated World Data Center A for Marine Geology and Geophysics.
