Abstract :
A large effort to replace two large-scale science data management systems with a single, advanced, scalable system is currently underway at the NASA Langley Atmospheric Science Data Center. The new system is designed with a distributed, multi-tier, service based, message- oriented architecture enabling new methods for searching, accessing and customizing data. ASDC is also tailoring access to information and data meet the needs of their diversified atmospheric sciences user community. Details of current data access tools and capabilities, and planned improvements are discussed.
