            Abstract : 
The Global Observing Systems Information Center (GOSIC) provides a broad spectrum of users with a centralized resource to aid in finding international observing system datasets and related information in a consistent fashion across a diverse array of international data centers and atmospheric, oceanic and terrestrial observing domains. A variety of data access tools are provided for data discovery and retrieval such as the Global Terrestrial Observing System Data Access Matrix.
