The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) was one of the national environmental data centers operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The main NODC facility is located in Silver Spring, Maryland and is made up of five divisions (see the (NODC organizational chart )). The NODC also has field offices collocated with major government or academic oceanographic laboratories in Stennis Space Center, MS; Miami, FL; La Jolla, CA; Seattle, WA; Austin, TX; Charleston, SC; Norfolk, VA; and Honolulu, HI. In 2015, NODC was merged with the National Climatic Data Center and the National Geophysical Data Center into the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) 〔https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/about〕 (NOAA ) also operates two other data centers: (National Climatic Data Center ) (NCDC), Asheville, North Carolina and (National Geophysical Data Center ) (NGDC), Boulder, Colorado. In 2015, the three merged to form the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).〔https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/about〕 Also, the (National Snow and Ice Data Center ) * (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado is operated for NGDC by the University of Colorado through the (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences ) (CIRES *). These discipline-oriented centers serve as national repositories and dissemination facilities for global environmental data. The data archives amassed by the NODC and the other centers provide a record of Earth's changing environment, and support numerous research and operational applications. Working cooperatively, the centers provide data products and services to scientists, engineers, resource managers, policy makers, and other users in the United States and around the world. ==History== Established in 1961, the NODC was originally an interagency facility administered by the U.S. Naval Hydrographic (later Oceanographic) Office. The NODC was transferred to NOAA in 1970 when NOAA was created by Executive Order by then-President, Richard Nixon. In the words of its charter, the NODC serves to "acquire, process, preserve, and disseminate oceanographic data." Its primary mission is to ensure that global oceanographic data sets collected at great cost are maintained in a permanent archive that is easily accessible to the world science community and to other users.
