As of Feb 2009, all historical data comes from EMS (no EDGRS annual report data for pre-2000) and OBPG data is added from the Ocean Color website statistics for FY04 through FY09. Prior years (FY00-FY2008) products distribution data sources cover the following data centers: ASF, EDC, GSFC, GHRC, PO.DAAC, ASDC, NSIDC, ORNL, SEDAC, including OBPG since FY2004, MODAPS since FY2006, and CDDIS since FY2009. All data are on FY boundaries. FY2010 data is cumulated per month for the following 11 data centers: ASF, EDC, GSFC, GHRC, PO.DAAC, ASDC, NSIDC, ORNL, MODAPS, SEDAC, and CDDIS with OBPG to be added at end of the fiscal year.
The left part of this chart covers the situation of the 1970s to early 1990s. The right-side covers the situation of the mid-1990s (again, remember we are talking about NASA’s Earth science data systems picture here – I don’t claim to represent a global picture)
