The DAACs process, archive, document, and distribute data from NASA's past and current Earth-observing satellites and field measurement programs. The DAACs were established in the early 1990s, and each DAAC serves a specific science discipline. The DAAC Alliance Annual is a multidisciplinary publication designed to highlight applications and research uses of satellite data archived at the NASA DAACs. Feature articles included in the publication describe research projects that use NASA satellite data. To facilitate understanding by a broad audience, which includes scientists, policymakers, and the general public, the articles are written at a lay audience level and include detailed explanations of scientific processes. Articles from the DAAC Alliance Annual are also published electronically on NASA's Earth Observatory and DAAC Alliance Web sites. The 9th edition of the NASA DAAC Alliance Annual publication, titled "Distributed Active Archive Centers Alliance: Supporting Earth Observing Science 2003," highlights the use of NASA satellite data in a variety of research disciplines, including oceanography, meteorology, seismology, land processes, cryospheric processes, and human influences on native habitats. For the first time, the 2003 edition also includes a glossy, center section featuring color data images that enhance the readers' understanding of the 11 feature articles. <br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 6605 Education<br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 6969 Remote sensing<br></span> SC: <span class="sc"> Education and Human Resources [ED]<br></span> MN: <span class="mn"> 2003 Fall Meeting<br></span></p></body></html>
