definition: The Israel Space Agency - Middle East Interactive Data Archive (ISA-MEIDA) is the Israeli NASA node. It is one of the international data centers participating in NASA's Earth Observing Science Data and Information System (EOSDIS). Environmental issues, such as global warming, the ozone layer, pollution, and extreme weather conditions, have become paramount topics on the world agenda. The Earth Observing System (EOS) program is designed to improve our understanding of the physical, biological, and social processes that regulate the entire Earth system. Satellite remote sensing provides comprehensive, long-term global Earth measurements necessary for understanding the global environmental system. This world wide effort could have far-reaching implications for the benefit of people everywhere. ISA-MEIDA was established in order to create and maintain an Earth observing data center available through internet to the research community and to the general public. ISA-MEIDA emphasizes the collection and archiving of Israeli Earth Science data sets. All ISA-MEIDA services are free of charge.
