The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) is a data and information resource for those studying snow and ice, and their importance to the Earth system. They archive analogue and digital snow and ice data, create and distribute data products, and maintain a large library collection in support of snow and ice research.
NSIDC was established by NOAA in 1982 to serve as a national information and referral center in support of glaciological research. Its mission today is to make fundamental contributions to cryospheric science and excel in managing data and disseminating information in order to advance understanding of the Earth system.
NSIDC archives digital and analog snow and ice data. They maintain information about snow cover and avalanches, glaciers and ice sheets, floating ice, ground ice and permafrost, atmospheric ice, paleoglaciology and ice cores. They create and distribute data products on CD-ROM and other media.
