The ORNL DAAC regularly partners with other EOSDIS data centers and the following organizations towards shared goals.
ICSU WDS
The International Council for Science World Data System (ICSU WDS) promotes stewardship and access to data and data services across a range of science disciplines.
ABoVE Working Groups
The Artic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) Working Groups define standards of data management, services, models, variables, and products for ABoVE. ORNL DAAC staff participate in the Core Variables & Standards and the Geospatial Products & Standards groups.
ESDSWG
The Earth Science Data System Working Groups (ESDSWG) is a NASA organization that focuses on the exploration and development of recommendations derived from pertinent community insights of NASA's heterogeneous and distributed Earth science data systems.
ESIP
The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a networked community that brings together science, data, and information technology practitioners.
CCSI Data Centers
The ORNL DAAC is a member of the ORNL Climate Change Science Institute (CCSI) and often contributes to its other data centers.
ARM
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Archive (ARM) provides observations to improve the understanding of clouds and aerosols.
NGEE Arctic
The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE Arctic) improve climate model predictions through advanced understanding of coupled processes in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems.
SPRUCE
The Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change (SPRUCE) experiment assesses the response of northern peatland ecosystems to increases in temperature and exposures to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
