World Data Center for Climate

The mission of World Data Center for Climate (WDCC) is to provide central support for the German and European climate research community. The WDCC is member of the ISC's World Data System. Emphasis is on development and implementation of best practice methods for Earth System data management. Data for and from climate research are collected, stored and disseminated. The WDCC is restricted to data products. Cooperations exist with thematically corresponding data centres of, e.g., earth observation, meteorology, oceanography, paleo climate and environmental sciences. The services of WDCC are also available to external users at cost price. A special service for the direct integration of research data in scientific publications has been developed. The editorial process at WDCC ensures the quality of metadata and research data in collaboration with the data producers. A citation code and a digital identifier (DOI) are provided and registered together with citation information at the DOI registration agency DataCite.

世界气候数据中心（WDCC）的使命是为德国及欧洲的气候研究界提供核心支持。WDCC是国际科学联合会（ISC）的世界数据系统成员。中心重点在于地球系统数据管理最佳实践方法的发展与实施。气候研究相关数据及其生成数据被收集、存储与传播。WDCC专注于数据产品。与地球观测、气象学、海洋学、古气候学及环境科学等领域相对应的数据中心建立了合作关系。WDCC的服务也以成本价向外部用户开放。为直接将研究数据集成到科学出版物中，已开发一项特殊服务。WDCC的编辑流程确保了与数据生产者协作下的元数据和研究数据的质量。同时提供并注册了引用代码及数字标识符（DOI），并与引用信息一同在DOI注册机构DataCite进行登记。
