Construction and development practices of the National Cryosphere Desert Data Center
Scientific data has become a strategic resource,and scientific data centers,as crucial entities for the long-term storage and open sharing of scientific data,support the development of science and technology innova-tion.With an accumulation of scientific data construction spanning over 30 years,the National Cryosphere Des-ert Data Center(NCDC,http://www.ncdc.ac.cn)aggregates over 60%of scientific data in the domestic gla-cial,permafrost,and desert research field.In order to promote the open sharing of scientific data resources in these field,NCDC has researched the construction of the resource systems,mechanisms,and methods for scien-tific data in cold and arid regions.The overall development objective is to build a scientific data system encom-passing ice,snow,permafrost,deserts,and related elements,advancing theoretical methods for scientific data and formulate key technologies for the collection,transmission,storage,management,analysis,sharing,appli-cation,and product development,creating an integrated scientific data application resource pool that combines data,models,and computation.Simultaneously,assembling a group of interdisciplinary data teams to drive in-novative work and establishing a benign development and sharing service ecosystem for scientific data.Addition-ally,advancing the disciplines of data engineering,key technologies for data engineering applications,and an international alliance for scientific data,constructing research-oriented,production-oriented,and intelligent sci-entific data centers with international influence,and providing scientific data and decision support for scientific and technological activities,ecological civilization,engineering construction,disaster prevention and control,and diplomatic negotiations in cold and arid regions.This paper reviews the development process and construc-tion strategies of NCDC,summarizing its research practices in the field of scientific data sharing in cold and arid zones,covering aspects such as the construction of standard specifications,data resource management,system platform construction,and the effectiveness and progress of shared services.Finally,future development pros-pects are provided for the sustainable development of the National Scientific Data Center.
