The CEDA Archive is the national data centre for atmospheric and earth observation and forms part of NERC’s Environmental Data Service - a network of data centres covering all aspects of environmental science. Our team coordinate data management on behalf of NERC for the UK atmospheric science and earth observation communities.

We hold data covering climate, composition, observations and numerical weather prediction as well as various earth observation datasets, including airborne and satellite data and imagery. Our main goal is to ensure that atmospheric and earth observation data are made available and accessible to all in order to fully realise their reuse potential.

JASMIN is a globally unique data intensive supercomputer for environmental science. JASMIN supports the data analysis requirements of the UK and European climate and earth system modelling community. It consists of multi-Petabyte fast storage co-located with data analysis computing facilities, with dedicated light paths to various key facilities and institutes within the community. Find out how to register for a JASMIN account here. 

CEDA also provide support for numerous other organisations and external projects. We run the UK Solar System Data Centre  (UKSSDC) co-funded by STFC and NERC, curates and provides access to archives of data from the upper atmosphere, ionosphere and Earth’s solar environment.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change  is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. We run the IPCC Data Distribution Centre  which provides climate, socio-economic and environmental data, both from the past and also in scenarios projected into the future.

At CEDA we support environmental scientists coducting climate research. However, you don’t need a PhD to get involved!

We’ve designed some resources to help prompt conversations about climate change and highlight things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
