Summary The EOS Data Gateway (EDG) is the primary interface to all data available in NASA's Earth Observation System Data Information System, and related data centers. With EDG, a user can search for and acquire a large variety of earth, ocean, and atmospheric science data obtained from EOS instruments such as MODIS and MISR, as well as other satellites such as Landsat and ... TRMM.
EOSDIS manages data from NASA's past and current Earth science research satellites and field measurement programs, providing access to data archiving, distribution, and information management services. The EOS era began in 1997 with the launch of the TRMM satellite and EOSDIS has since commanded and controlled satellites and their related instruments. EOSDIS generates useful products from orbital observations and creates data sets made by the assimilation of satellite and in situ observations into global climate models.
EOSDIS will store all the standard and special products computed from the EOS instruments during the mission life, and distribute requested subsets to users either electronically (via networks) or on appropriate media. In addition, EOSDIS will store and distribute data from non-EOS sources that are needed for EOS standard product generation.
Eight DAACs (Distributed Active Archive Centers) representing a wide range of Earth science disciplines have been selected by NASA to carry out the responsibilities for the processing, archiving, and distributing EOS and related data, and for providing a full range of user support. An ninth DAAC acts as a link between the EOS Program and the socio-economic and educational user community. These institutions are custodians of EOS mission data, and ensure that data will be easily accessible to users. The EOSDIS gateway provides access to Earth Science data (EOS data) across all DAAC archives, thus allowing users the ability to locate data from one location.
Access Constraints Some of NASA sites ask visitors who request specific information to fill out a registration form. Users who send an electronic mail message to a NASA site may be subject to having the sent information stored in order to respond to the request or to resolve the subject matter of the email. Regardless of the information being transmitted to NASA, we will protect all such information consistent with applicable law.
