The World Data Center for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere

The World Data Center for Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere, WDC-RSAT, offers scientists and the general public free access (in the sense of a “one-stop shop”) to a continuously growing collection of atmosphere-related satellite-based data sets (ranging from raw to value added data), information products and services. Focus is on atmospheric trace gases, aerosols, dynamics, radiation, and cloud physical parameters. Complementary information and data on surface parameters (e.g. vegetation index, surface temperatures) is also provided. This is achieved either by giving access to data stored at the data center or by acting as a portal containing links to other providers.

世界大气遥感数据中心（WDC-RSAT）向科学家及公众提供免费访问（意指一站式服务）不断扩充的大气相关卫星数据集（涵盖从原始数据到增值数据），信息产品及服务。该中心聚焦于大气痕量气体、气溶胶、动力学、辐射和云物理参数。同时，还提供关于地表参数（例如植被指数、地表温度）的补充信息和数据。这一目标的实现，既包括提供存储在数据中心的数据访问，也包括作为门户，包含指向其他数据提供者的链接。
