Long-Term Archive at DKRZ
Go to MetaXA Data Submission PortalAs a DKRZ user, you have two options for long-term archiving your data: WDCC and
DOKU. You can also split your dataset between them. The WDCC (World Data Centre
for Climate) offers long-term archiving for datasets relevant for climate and
Earth System research in a highly standardised manner following the FAIR principles. In comparison DOKU is the simpler solution to preserve your research
data while still meeting the requirements of good scientific practice.
