1 Research Data Archives at NCAR
RDA, a continually evolving data resource Content is improved and extended Metadata is developed to improve discovery Access methods are many and expanding Now; Web, FTP, NCAR MSS, writable media Future; via CDP and network servers (e.g. GDS, OPeNDAP, etc) 5 February 2019 Steven Worley, NSF/NCAR/SCD

2 Steven Worley, NSF/NCAR/SCD
RDA definition Collection of reference datasets used in atmospheric and related sciences Over 600 datasets currently archived 10-20 new datasets added annually The RDA is maintained by 9 staff First established about 40 years All data on the MSS 548K files 100.5 TB 5 February 2019 Steven Worley, NSF/NCAR/SCD

3 Steven Worley, NSF/NCAR/SCD
RDA Content Many categories of data Observations Model Output NWP Reanalyses Climatology Data Long-term SST analyses Monthly summary of the day station data Satellite derived datasets Global topography and ocean depth Station Libraries Much more …. 5 February 2019 Steven Worley, NSF/NCAR/SCD
