CDDIS OVERVIEW THE CDDIS DATA CENTER — DATA FLOW FOR INTERNATIONAL SERVICES The Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) is a dedicated data center supporting the Network Stations Continuously operational international space geodesy community, providing easy and ready access to a variety of data sets, products, NASA'S SPACE GEODESY DATA ARCHIVE Analysis Centers/User Community and information about these data. The data center was established in 1982 as a dedicated data bank to Timely flow of data archive and distribute all Crustal Dynamics Project-acquired data and information about these data. Today, Carey Noll and Maurice Dube Data Centers the CDDIS continues to serve as the NASA archive and distribution center for space geodesy data, particularly Compressed Data Files (in data type-specific formats) Interface to network stations Global Positioning System (GPS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), laser ranging, Very Long NASA GSFC Perform QC and data Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite d r conversion activities (DORIS) data.

All data are service to support geodetic and geophysical research activities through GPS Facilitate communications data and products. This service has been operational since 1994. The their related products to support geodetic and geophysical research processed to ensure data integrity and to extract pertinent metadata. These metadata are loaded into a GPS GLON SLR VLBI DORIS Coordinate activities relational database for data tracking and query purposes. Data are then copied to public directories and current network consists of nearly 300 permanently occupied, globally IGS an accurate International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). The service develops the made available to the user community through anonymous ftp and the web. distributed sites that provide GPS data to IGS data centers on a daily, Governing Body necessary global standards/specifications and encourages international adherence to its Space Geodesy Network Stations hourly, and near-real-time basis. These GPS data are used by the IGS General oversight of service conventions. The ILRS collects, merges, archives and distributes Satellite Laser Ranging The CDDIS is operational on a UNIX server with over 550 Gbytes of on-line disk storage.
