Welcome to the ESGF Node @ NASA/NCCS

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) maintains a global system of federated data centers that allow access to the largest archive of climate data world-wide. The ESGF Node at NASA/NCCS is focused on supporting NASA climate model datasets (CMIP5), NASA observational datasets (obs4MIPs), reanalysis datasets (CREATE-IP and ana4MIPs), and NASA downscaled datasets (NEX).  All datasets are specially prepared for easy comparison with CMIP model output or for reanalysis intercomparison (CREATE-IP). You can use this node as a starting point for searching and downloading observations that are stored throughout the federation, or you can start from any of the other Nodes and projects to download climate model output, reanalysis data, etc.

The NCCS ESGF site does not provide OpenID's.  Please go to the PCMDI site to request an OpenID.
