The National Cryosphere Desert Data Center (hereinafter referred to as NCDC) is supported by the Institute of environment and Engineering in the cold and dry areas of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with Xinjiang Institute of ecology and geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu Institute of mountain land disaster and environment of the Ministry of water resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qinghai Salt Lake Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Qinghai Gao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences The Institute of protobiology and other units were jointly established. The supporting units of glacier permafrost desert data center have formed a scientific research and support system of seven research laboratories and three research systems, highlighting the research characteristics of glacier, permafrost, desert, atmosphere, water and soil, ecology, environment, resources, engineering and sustainable development in the dry areas of cold regions.
Online materials database (known as PAULING FILE project) with nearly 2 million entries: physical properties, crystal structures, phase diagrams, available via API, ready for modern data-intensive applications. The source of these entries are about 0.5M peer-reviewed publications in materials science, processed during the last 30 years by an international team of PhD editors. The results are presented online with a quick search interface. The basic access is provided for free.
The Argo observational network consists of a fleet of 3000+ profiling autonomous floats deployed by about a dozen teams worldwide. WHOI has built about 10% of the global fleet. The mission lifetime of each float is about 4 years. During a typical mission, each float reports a profile of the upper ocean every 10 days. The sensors onboard record fundamental physical properties of the ocean: temperature and conductivity (a measure of salinity) as a function of pressure. The depth range of the observed profile depends on the local stratification and the float's mechanical ability to adjust it's buoyancy. The majority of Argo floats report profiles between 1-2 km depth. At each surfacing, measurements of temperature and salinity are relayed back to shore via satellite. Telemetry is usually received every 10 days, but floats at high-latitudes which are iced-over accumulate their data and transmit the entire record the next time satellite contact is established. With current battery technology, the best performing floats last 6+ years and record over 200 profiles.
