Available resources:

THREDDS Data Server

The THREDDS (Thematic Real-time Environmental Distributed Data Services) project is developing middleware to bridge the gap between data providers and data users. The goal is to simplify the discovery and use of scientific data and to allow scientific publications and educational materials to reference scientific data. The mission of THREDDS is for students, educators and researchers to publish, contribute, find, and interact with data relating to the Earth system in a convenient, effective, and integrated fashion. Just as the World Wide Web and digital - library technologies have simplified the process of publishing and accessing multimedia documents, THREDDS is building infrastructure needed for publishing and accessing scientific data in a similarly convenient fashion.

Anonymous FTP Data Server

An Internet protocol enabling users to transfer files between two computer systems without the need for an account on the remote system. This server supports only data download.

Wiki Server

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

IMPORTANT: Modern web browsers may raise a warning about the site's security certificate when accessing the wiki. This is a known issue for all U.S. government websites using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). There is no other workaround but to manually override the browser's security warning.
