ICARE Data and services center (ICARE)

Platform

Description

ICARE is one of the 4 centers of AERIS, the French Data Infrastructure for Atmosphere. Our mission is to support research in atmospheric and climate sciences and to provide the scientific community with services to facilitate the exploitation of "aerosols, clouds, radiation, and water cycle in the atmosphere" data, in particular the data from Earth observation space missions. ICARE allows to exploit the huge volume of data, to combine the various observational data to derive geophysical parameters and to provide easy online access to the products. We work in collaboration with international space agencies (CNES, NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, ISRO, etc.) and scientific experts in the field and participate in numerous regional, national and international collaborative projects.
