Use of the National Environmental Data Referral Service

Abstract

The National Environmental Data Referral Service consists of a series of records of atmospheric datasets. The nature, characteristics, and name of the holder of the data is indicated, but no actual data are included. Records are maintained in an easily accessible computer-searchable form, so that a rapid assessment of date availability for a particular problem is possible. A description of the type of information available and suggestions for developing an efficient search strategy are presented.
