Abstract
The Global Observing System Information Centre (GOSIC) is intended to provide a single point of access for the observational requirements, data flows, and registry of datasets and products within the three observing systems Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), and the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS).
The information centre is web-based and links the user to the centres of data and data products. Each participating data centre will maintain information on line concerning its data, data products, and data-processing activities, such as a metadata record in the format of the NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). Complex searches can be carried out and the centre has direct links to other websites that provide in situ and space data.
GOSIC explains the data systems and provides integrating overviews of the programs and on-line access to their data, information and services. GOSIC offers a search capability, across data centers to facilitate access to a worldwide set of observations and derived products.
