National Information system for Climate and Environment Studies (NICES) envisages realization of national level climate database generation for climate studies (impact assessment). NICES is a muli-institutional effort with the participation of ISRO / DOS centres, other ministries/departments and other R&D institutions. The geophysical products, pertaining to land, ocean, atmosphere and cryosphere are disseminated through a NICES portal developed under Bhuvan platform. Currently 28 of 51 ECVs are amenable from space, either directly or indirectly. For 13 geophysical parameters, the space-based inputs are being made available through NICES portal (Albedo, Cloud properties, Forest fire regime, Land cover, Ocean colour, Ozone, Soil moisture, Sea level pressure, Ocean Surface currents, Snow cover, River discharge (Runoff), Total Alkalinity and pCO2. The data could be downloaded by the researchers using the links given below.
