Data collections represent permanent data storage that is organized, searchable, and available to a wide audience, either a collaborative group or the scientific public in general. Data collections usually have a Web interface or portal for displaying and retrieving data.
The term "collections" is also used to refer to the libraries or groupings of data in Storage Resource Broker (SRB), which is a client/server-based suite of data storage and movement tools.
To make your collection available as a TeraGrid resource, you will need a data allocation. See the TeraGrid Resource Catalog to see allocable data resources, and see Allocations and Accounts for information on requesting an allocation. We recommend that first-time TeraGrid users utilize the TeraGrid Getting Started Guide
A number of data collection resources are available at the TeraGrid sites. The data collections table below lists collections that are available to or created by TeraGrid users. The list contains a brief description or abstract of each collection that is currently in production at TeraGrid sites. URL links will connect directly to the collection interface or to more detailed information. Collections without
URLs are used by a community of researchers but are not available to the public.

This dataset is the output from the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) to simulate global climate changes. It consists of four dynamic geophysical models simulating the atmosphere, ocean, land surface and sear-ice, and one central coupler component. It facilitates fundamental research on the earth's past, present, and future climate states. This set of data is in NetCDF file format. |

| LARS Data |
Provided by Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing (LARS) at Purdue University, the LARS image data collection includes multi-spectral (3 to 15 or so wavelength bands) and hyper-spectral (dozens to hundreds of wavelength bands) image data that are being used for education and research purposes. Most of the image data are for locations in the State of Indiana, dated from 1972 to 2004. The data have been collected by satellite-borne and aircraft-borne sensors. Each band of data in a data set represents the energy received by the sensor that is within the wavelength range of that band. Different sensors cover different portions of the optical spectrum. The primary data formats are ERDAS LAN, Leica Geosystems Imagine, GeoTIFF, and HDF. In addition, some are in LARSYS MIST format. |

These data are collected every 15 to 30 minutes covering different portions or sectors of the earth disk. A full disk scan sector is obtained every 3 hours. The current data products published online include the most recent images for the eastern United States and images for the continental United States in JPEG and HDF formats.
PTO image data sets also include data from a 4.5 meter tracking antenna including that from the AVHRR sensor on several NOAA satellites, the MVISR sensor on the Chinese Fengyun 1D satellite and the MODIS sensors on the NASA Terra and Aqua satellites. The current online data products include JPEG images of the most recent pass coverages. |

| LiDAR |
This is a LIDAR-based digital terrain collection from the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) containing high-resolution data on the Texas and California coastlines, Brownsville and Wyoming. This data is used by the geological science community to study shoreline migration, geomorphic change, conduct hydro-modeling and wetlands classification. |

| MODIS Satellite Imagery of the Earth |
This collection is from the Center for Space Research and contains remotely sensed imagery of the earth, including derived products such as NDVI, cloud classification, surface temperature, surface type, and aerosol optical thickness. It is used by a wide range of Earth scientists in areas such as detecting the level and evolution of air pollution sources or tracking algae blooms in bodies of waters. There are a total of 14 feeds from a handful of satellites that result into numerous derivative products. This data collection grows by approximately 2.4 GB per day. |

| NEXRAD |
The Center for Research in Water Resources will provide data from the National Weather Service's Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Program. This data will be streamed directly from the NOAA port in Boulder and will be used to study various atmospheric conditions, such as cold fronts, dry lines, and thunderstorm gust fronts, never before visible within storms. (Note: the Global Hydrology Atlas which was specified in TACC's original TeraGrid proposal is insufficiently large to justify TG hosting, for this reason, the collection was altered to be more in line with the TG mission.) National coverage for this collection at the ten minute resolution should produce on the order of approximately 1.5 TB per year. |
