Resource Abstract:
- description: The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) is the primary climate-change data and information analysis
center of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). CDIAC is located at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and includes
the World Data Center for Atmospheric Trace Gases. CDIAC's data holdings include estimates of carbon dioxide emissions
from fossil-fuel consumption and land-use changes; records of atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other radiatively
active trace gases; carbon cycle and terrestrial carbon management datasets and analyses; and global/regional climate data
and time series. CDIAC provides scientific and data management support for projects sponsored by a number of agencies, including
the AmeriFlux Network, continuous observations of ecosystem level exchanges of CO2, water, energy and momentum at different
time scales for sites in the Americas; the Ocean CO2 Data Program of CO2 measurements taken aboard ocean research vessels;
DOE-supported FACE experiments, which evaluate plant and ecosystem response to elevated CO2 concentrations; and the HIPPO
project, which is analyzing the atmospheric carbon cycle and greenhouse gas concentrations from pole to pole over the Pacific
Ocean.; abstract: The Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) is the primary climate-change data and information
