Welcome to NASA's Virtual Oceanographic Data Center.
The NASA Virtual Oceanographic Data Center (VODC) is a nascent effort to develop data access, search, and discovery software for unifying ocean data sets within and across NASA. VODC uses the award winning Object Oriented Data Technology software to construct gateway interfaces providing metadata search and data retrieval for data holdings including:
- The JPL DAAC (or PO.DAAC, for Physical Oceanography Data Active Archive Access Center)
- The National Virtual Ocean Data System (NVODS)
- NOAA's National Oceaongraphic Data Center (NODC)
- NASA's Ocean Surface Topography from space Missions (OSTM)
And other ocean-related data centers as they are made available and identified. VODC's mission is to provide easy, transparent and most importantly unobtrusive access to massive amounts of oceans data and metadata and make the information available to the larger science community.
VODC is funded by the NASA Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) research program.
