| Summary: |
The Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (CADIS) provides data management for the Arctic Observing Network (AON). AON is an NSF initiative for the International Polar Year (IPY) intended to improve observational capabilities in the Arctic and to leave a long-term legacy for the benefit of science and society. AON data are collected here, at this CADIS data portal. When fully developed, CADIS will be a portal for data discovery, near-real-time data delivery, and analysis and visualization as well as data storage. AON is integral to the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH). The AON projects are categorized by the SEARCH Implementation Plan categories Atmosphere, Human Dimensions, Hydrology and Terrestrial Cryosphere, Ocean and Sea Ice, and Terrestrial Ecosystems. Each category folder below contains ONLY the projects and associated data sets for that category. General project descriptions, PI information, and data set descriptions can also be found within these folders. Supporting Data Sets contains data that may be widely useful for AON and SEARCH. To contribute metadata and data, register and log in using the tabs above, then use the links and context sensitive help. You will be led through the process of creating a dataset by first writing a metadata file in the CADIS profile. You are then given the option of uploading data. Please read the CADIS Users Guide before your first submission of data or metadata. All AON projects must contribute metadata. Storing data on this CADIS site is optional, but if data are not archived here, the metadata should include a link to where the data can be obtained. |
