WDCs come funded & maintained by their unsuspecting hosts countries in behalf of the international science community. Everthing reference held within WDCs come available for those days are gone than a numbers of copying & sending a requested information.

EOS-WEBSTER
Digital library of free, customized earth science data from the University of New Hampshire.

British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC)
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) designated data centre for the Atmospheric Sciences in the United Kingdom.

Earth Simulator Project
The Earth Simulator Project is a supercomputing project targeted at creating a "virtual Earth" in order to achieve an accurate prediction model of global-scale phenomena, including patterns of global climate change and production of data to protect human lives from natural disasters.
