The Atmospheric Composition Data and Information Services Center (ACDISC) is a portal to the Atmospheric Composition (AC) specific, user driven, multi-sensor, on-line, easy access archive and distribution system employing data analysis and visualization, and other user requested techniques for the better science data usage.
ACDISC provides convenient access to AC data and information from various remote-sensing missions, from heritage TOMS, UARS, MODIS, and AIRS datasets, to the most recent data from Aura OMI, MLS, HIRDLS as well as AC datasets residing at other remote archive sites.
Most recently, ACDISC at GES DISC has been assigned to archive and distribute atmospheric composition data retrieved from the observations made by TANSO sensors flown on Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT). The Atmospheric CO2 Observations from Space (ACOS) Team - a group formed around the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) Science Team - had been given responsibilty of developing retrieval algorithms for greenhouse gases, in particular CO2 and Methane.
