NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) is located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. ORNL DAAC was established in 1993 and is under an interagency agreement between NASA and the Department of Energy.

ORNL DAAC specializes in data and information relevant to terrestrial biogeochemistry, ecology, and environmental processes, which are critical to understanding the dynamics of Earth's biological, geological, and chemical components.

Biogeochemical Dynamics Data

ORNL DAAC archives data and model products that were generated with funding from NASA's Terrestrial Ecology program and other programs within NASA's Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems focus area. Datasets are organized by both the name of the associated NASA project and by science themes in biogeochemical and ecological research.

Data Tools and Services: Spatial Data Access Tool, Thematic Real-time Environmental Distributed Data Services (THREDDS), Daymet Single Pixel Extraction Tool, and land product subsets.
