NERC Earth Observation Data Acquisition Analysis Service (NEODAAS) support of Carbon Cycle Research

摘要

The NERC Earth Observation Data Acquisition & Analysis Service (NEODAAS) provides satellite data and products for the UK research community. Capabilities offered include the reception, archiving, processing and analysis of satellite data, along with scientific research activities. NEODAAS supports marine and atmospheric research and is currently extending services and expertise into Terrestrial, Polar and Earth Sciences. To develop these new areas we have started by identifying some difficulties researchers might face when using remote sensing data and this paper discusses how NEODAAS can support the research community at each of these points. The contributions NEODAAS has made to carbon cycle research are briefly reviewed as well as the present areas we are pursuing to extend support to the terrestrial domain.
