- Advances in the field of climate science rely on the global and findability and low-barrier retrievability of very large volume datasets containing either observational or numerical model output data. Both aspects have to be assured for long-term preserved and newly created datasets alike. DKRZ provides services tailored towards the needs of the climate science community addressing these issues. On the one hand, DKRZ hosts the World Data Center for Climate (WDCC) – an externally certified long-term archive for climate data. Data preservation in the WDCC supports the FAIR data principles, data depositors obtain dedicated support during the archiving process and DOI-assignment to preserved datasets is also possible. Data access is open for the majority of datasets preserved in the WDCC. On the other hand, as one of the core members of the ESGF (Earth System Grid Federation), DKRZ provides user-oriented services facilitating the efficient publication, global dissemination and analysis of heavily-used, large-volume climate data. Publication in the ESGF thus lends itself for datasets which are expected to spark great interest in the global climate science community. DKRZ therefore provides data and repository services essential for the day-to-day work of the global climate science community.
