Abstract

The Earth Observing System (EOS) is NASA’s response to the congressionally mandated Global Change Research Program (GCRP). Through the EOS program, massive amounts of data will be gathered in areas such as climate and hydrological systems, biogeochemical dynamics, ecological systems, earth system history, human interactions, solid earth processes, and solar influences. The purpose of the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) is to provide access to EOS data to the science community and to encourage cooperative iteractions within this community. As such, the EOSDIS will be the largest data system ever developed and will serve the widest community.The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was launced on September 14, 1991. UARS is an earth orbiting satellite providing simultaneous, coordinated measurements of atmospheric parameters relevant to questions of global change (trace constituents, physical dynamics, radiative emission, thermal structure, and density) along with measurements of those extern...
