The Modeling and Synthesis Thematic Data Center (MAST-DC) supports the North American Carbon Program by
providing data products and data management services needed for modeling and synthesis activities. The overall
objective of MAST-DC is to provide advanced data management support to NACP investigators doing modeling
and synthesis, thereby freeing those investigators from having to perform data management functions. MAST-DC
has compiled a number of data products for North America, including sub-pixel land-water content, daily
meteorological data, and soil, land cover, and elevation data. In addition, we have developed an internet-based
WebGIS system that enables users to browse, query, display, subset, and download spatial data using a
standard web browser. For the mid-continent intensive, MAST-DC is working with a group of data assimilation
modelers to generate a consistent set of meteorological data to drive bottom-up models.
