A focus for NOAA-supported data management activities at NSIDCThe NOAA team at NSIDC manages about 60 NOAA data sets, and publishes several new data sets each year, with an emphasis on in situ data, data rescue, and data sets from operational communities such as the U.S. Navy. We also help develop educational pages, contribute to larger projects, and support the WDC for Glaciology, Boulder, and the NSIDC Information Center. NSIDC was established at the University of Colorado by NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) in 1982, to serve as a national information and referral center for polar research. While NSIDC is not part of NOAA, we are affiliated with the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) through a cooperative agreement, and archive and distribute our NOAA data in partnership with NGDC. NOAA at NSIDC activities are made possible by support from NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC, and the NOAA Arctic Research Program.
