Global Environmental Database (GED)

The Center for Global Environmental Research (CGER) at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) has established a Global Environmental Database (GED), which comprises data and research results collected and compiled from natural and social sciences. The GED serves as a fundamental database related to global environmental problems with an emphasis on global warming and climate change.



The database provides long-term monitoring data, data analysis results and output of models. Quality controlled open data is provided in original format and NASA AMES format. And users are also able to overview the data by utilities plotting parameters. The database mainly contains data for Japan and the Japan region, in two different databases



1) Atmospheric and Oceanic Monitoring



Fixed and mobile platforms are used to observe the atmosphere and oceans in order to come to an understanding of the true state of the environment from a global perspective. High quality data are collected through long-term monitoring that will contribute to research on clarifying the causes of global environmental change.



2) Terrestrial Monitoring



After the Kyoto Protocol - the international consensus toward combatting global warming - entered into force in 2005, detailed evaluation of forest ecosystems' potential to absorb carbon dioxide has become an imperative. The Center for Global Environmental Research started Carbon Balance Monitoring in Terrestrial Ecosystems in 1999 under its Global Environmental Monitoring Project. The Office of Terrestrial Monitoring is striving to provide data of carbon balance over a wide area by integrating carbon balance data obtained from site-based forest ecosystem observations and aerial parameters obtained from remote sensing. This database contains CO2 concentration profiles, fluxes, spectral and meteorological datasets etc.
