Remarks
ICSU World Data System superseded the World Data Centres (WDCs) and Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical data analysis Services (FAGS) created by ICSU to manage data generated by the International Geophysical Year[5][6][7] (1957–1958). Since January 1st, 2008 ICET is hosted at the University of French Polynesia with Chairman J. P. Barriot.(barriot@upf.pf).
The IGETS data base at GFZ Potsdam continues the activities of the International Center for Earth Tides (ICET), in particular, in collecting, archiving and distributing Earth tide records from long series of gravimeters, tiltmeters, strainmeters and other geodynamic sensors.
