Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs)

Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) are specialized facilities that store, manage, and distribute large collections of satellite data related to the Earth's environment. They are part of a network that ensures scientists, researchers, and the public have reliable access to high-quality data on topics like climate, land use, and weather. By distributing this information across multiple centers, DAACs enhance data security, accessibility, and collaboration, enabling informed decisions about environmental management, research, and policy. They serve as vital hubs for processing and sharing remote sensing data collected from satellites around the world.
