About CEDA Archive
The CEDA Archive is a repository of atmospheric and Earth observation data. It hosts over 20 petabytes from climate models, satellites, aircraft, meteorological observations, and other sources, with a searchable catalogue and starting points such as HadUK Grid, CMIP, CRU, MIDAS Open, FAAM, and Sentinel.
It is part of the Natural Environment Research Council's Environmental Data Service and stores research data long-term for scientists. Deposit is principally for data from or supporting NERC-funded science, with other data accepted if it fits its mission.
