Parameter Information Locator Tool

The Parameter Information Pages (PIPs) provide short descriptions of important geophysical parameters; information about the satellites and sensors which acquire data relevant to these parameters; links to GES DAACdatasets which contain these parameters; and external data source links where data or information relevant to these parameters can be found.
