Data Centers Related to DOE
The list on the DOE Data Centers page identified major data centers that are funded in whole by the Department of Energy. The centers on this page are in a different list because they are:
- Funded by other agencies but located at DOE facilities
- Smaller centers or centers only partially funded by DOE
- DOE groups that play "center-like" roles because of their focus on gathering, analyzing, and disseminating data
Funded by other agencies but located at DOE facilities
ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) for Biogeochemical Dynamics- The ORNL DAAC is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and contains data files from NASA-sponsored research. It is physically located, however, at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
- Atomic Mass Data Center (AMDC)
- The Atomic Mass Data Center web site is maintained by G. Audi (CSNSM Orsay, France) and hosted in the U.S. by the National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton New York.
Smaller centers or centers only partially funded by DOE
- Measurement and Instrumentation Data Center (MIDC)
- Physically, the MIDC is a group of specific instruments that provide near real-time solar irradiance and meteorological data for several U.S. locations. The specialized functions and reporting from MIDC instruments are part of the solar data provided through the Renewable Resource Data Center (RReDC) maintained by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The MIDC website is "nested" within the RReDC web.
- Radiation Chemistry Data Center at the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory (RCDC)
- The RCDC was established at Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory 1965 as part of the National Standard Reference Data Center. It is funded by DOE's Office of Science and is know for its compilation and evaluation of kinetic, spectroscopic and thermodynamic data for processes in solution involving reactive intermediates.
DOE groups that play "center-like" roles because of their focus on gathering, analyzing, and disseminating data
- Particle Data Group (PDG) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)
- The PDG is an international collaboration that reviews Particle Physics and related areas of Astrophysics, and compiles/analyzes data on particle properties. PDG products are distributed to 30,000 physicists, teachers, and other interested people. The Review of Particle Physics is the most cited publication in particle physics during the last decade. The PDG is funded by DOE and by the science agencies of the other countries involved in the collaboration.
- T-2 Nuclear Information Service at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
- This service is run by Group T-16 (Nuclear Physics) of the Theoretical Division of LANL. The Group concentrates on nuclear modeling, nuclear data, cross sections, nuclear masses, ENDF, NJOY data processing, nuclear astrophysics, radioactivity, radiation shielding, data for medical radiotherapy, data for high-energy accelerator applications, data and codes for fission and fusion systems, and more.
The DOE Energy Information Administration (EIA) is not listed here as a center for primary research data, but it provides excellent, up-to-date pricing, production, and usage data to the public arena.
