DATA/ ARCHIVE OVERVIEW
Data archived at the Atmospheric composition Validation Data Center (AVDC) originates from several sources, including:
- NASA Research Announcement (NRA) funded Aura validation projects.
- Special Aura validation campaigns, including NASA Aura Validation Experiment (AVE) aircraft deployment and the NASA large-balloon missions.
- Established measurement networks for collection of atmospheric data, such as from the Network for Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC), the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) program, etc.
- Collaboration with European Space Agency (ESA), European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), University of Toronto, etc.
