Remarks
Remarks
The British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC), NERC Earth Observation Data Centre (NEODC) and the UK Solar System Data Centre (UKSSDC) are the designated NERC data centres for the UK atmospheric, earth observation and near-Earth environment communities. As such they are responsible for the long term archiving of research data produced by NERC funded atmospheric, earth observation and near-Earth environment academic research.
The BADC, NEODC and UKSSDC are operated by CEDA.
