Federal partners and regional associations see: https://data.ioos.us//by_the_numbers/
NOAA’s National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) is the nominal archive center for IOOS data. Data providers are expected to provide for storage of data, metadata and other supporting documentation and algorithm descriptions, to establish data recovery mechanisms, and to perform off-site storage of backups until the data and metadata are submitted to NODC for archiving
