National Arctic and Antarctic Data Center

Chinese National Arctic & Antarctic Data Center(CN-NADC) is a national facility within the Polar research institute of China (PRIC), which is a research institute under the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) of China. CN-NADC was established in response to Chinese participation in the Article III.1.c of Antarctic Treaty System - (ATS — https://www.ats.aq/index_e.html) and Chinese Polar Data Policy. CN-NADC serves as the only authorized institution in China to capture, standard manage and long-term preserve the data and samples information, and to provide sustainable polar data service. In 2003, CN-NADC became one of the nodes of ‘National Data Sharing Infrastructure of Earth Science’ (GEODATA), which’s one of the Platforms of the National Science and Technology Infrastructures (NSTI) supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the Ministry of Finance of People’s Republic of China.

中国国家北极与南极数据中心（CN-NADC）是中国极地研究所（PRIC）内的国家级设施，而中国极地研究所隶属于中国国家海洋局（SOA）。CN-NADC的成立旨在响应中国参与《南极条约体系》第三条第一款（c）项以及中国极地数据政策。作为我国唯一授权的机构，CN-NADC负责采集、标准化管理以及长期保存数据与样本信息，并提供持续的极地数据服务。自2003年起，CN-NADC成为‘国家地球科学数据共享基础设施’（GEODATA）的节点之一，该基础设施是国家科学技术基础设施（NSTI）的一部分，由中华人民共和国科学技术部（MOST）和财政部（MOF）共同支持。
