Abstract

By the end of the century, NASA will launch a series of satellites to study the Earth. NASA will store the Earth data in one of the world's largest information systems, whose size will be 1,000 times larger than the Library of Congress. Based upon a current infrastructure of Earth science validation centers throughout the world, this paper describes a highly distributed architecture for the management, processing, and quality assurance of data that complements current high-volume, reliable NASA archives.
