FAIRsharing record for: Arctic Data Centre

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Arctic Data Centre (ADC) is a service provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET) and is a legacy of the International Polar Year (IPY). ADC is based on the FAIR guiding principles for data management and access to free and open data. While the Norwegian Meteorological Institute use CC BY as the data license, ADC is managing data on behalf of other data owners that may have other preferences. ADC is primarily hosting data within meteorology, oceanography and glaciology, but through active metadata harvesting it also points to data within other disciplines. ADC normally offers data in CF-NetCDF adhering to the Climate and Forecast Conventions (exceptions may occur) and support services on top of data like OPeNDAP and OGC WMS. Machine interfaces to the catalogue include OAI-PMH, OGC CSW and OpenSearch. Information is provided in the native format MET Metadata (MMD), ISO-19115 and GCMD DIF (others are being considered).
