In collaboration with the SCADM - Standing Committee on Antarctic Data Mangement, NASA's GCMD staff created a resource for discovering and describing internationally held Antarctic data. The GCMD Antarctic Master Directory Portal (AMD) is a virtual subset of the GCMD database, which provides metadata on Earth science data sets pertaining to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Through the close cooperation between NASA and SCADM, currently over 6400 data set descriptions or metadata records have been added to the AMD.
