Hi all, It's not entirely a Earth Science portal as I don't believe any
Earth data below the ocean bottom or the land surface is to be included.
Plus we don't plan for it to include a collection of Earth Science science
references (that is to say, "data" is probably needed in the name). What
about Ocean/Atmosphere Data Portal? I googled it and there is a ocean
portal, a climate data portal, and eco-portal and some other miscellaneous
ones but no Ocean/Atmosphere Data Portal.
