The BOREAS Information System

How To Get BOREAS Data

Quality-Checked Final BOREAS Data

A large portion of the BOREAS data has been released for general distribution. Quality verification and documentation work for these data sets has been completed, and they are available through the EOSDIS (Earth Observing System Data and Information System) DAAC (Distributed Active Archive Center) for Biogeochemical Dynamics at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Preliminary BOREAS Data

Over half of the BOREAS data has already been processed, documented, and released to ORNL. But there is still some data sets in the processing "pipeline". Access to these data are currently restricted to BOREAS Science Team members, their associates, and BOREAS Project Staff. We here at BORIS still have the complete set of BOREAS data available online.

Getting the BOREAS Data

• Go directly to the complete BOREAS data archive
• The BOREAS Keywords List -- find the data by subject.
• The BOREAS Personel List -- find the name of the person who collected the data, and from there get to the data itself.
• The Science Team pages -- find the Science Team that collected the data you want.
  • Go to the AFM Team Summary page
  • Go to the HYD Team Summary page
  • Go to the RSS Team Summary page
  • Go to the Staff Summary page
  • Go to the TE Team Summary page
  • Go to the TF Team Summary page
  • Go to the TGB Team Summary page
• Use a standalone FTP browser (like Fetch for the Macintosh) to access the data. -- You must connect to the computer "boreas.gsfc.nasa.gov", using the account name "BOREAS_PRE" and the current data-access password. Once connected, you will be in the root directory and should go into the "data/" directory to see a listing of BOREAS Science Groups. From there you should be able to find the data you want.
