Dataset & Data Search
Dataset search tools help you find open data, research collections and public records from many fields. Listings include catalogues, repositories and portals from governments, universities, labs and open projects. Some cover one subject closely, such as genomics, climate or satellite imagery, while others gather datasets across many areas and add filters, previews and download notes. Compare a few side by side and look at the licence, the update date and the file formats offered, since two portals that look alike can carry very different terms. Check whether a catalogue links to the original data or hosts its own copy, because the source usually explains provenance and any limits on reuse.
The WHOI Argo Program page is a resource for information about Argo floats deployed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. It links to status pages for core and deep floats, BGC floats, and ALAMO/ALTO floats, plus real-time data flow and DMQC status. It also offers deployment plans, manuals, coverage maps, and KML files of float locations.
Search atmospheric, oceanography and climate data collections and supporting observational data from USA.
Wiki-Pi is a wiki resource centered on human protein-protein interactions. It provides search functionality for human protein-protein interactions and allows users to browse novel predicted protein-protein interactions associated with diseases including mesothelioma, schizophrenia, Covid-19, rheumatoid arthritis, hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, and cilia-related conditions.
WikiPathways is an open science platform for biological pathways contributed, updated and used by the research community. It offers pathway browsing by organism, community and ontology annotation, and provides downloads in formats including GPML (XML), GMT and SVG.
Searchable public dataset catalog maintained by public agencies.
Search engineering data collections and supporting image from DEU.
Search ancient cultures data collections and supporting datasets from USA.
A public repository of computable, curated datasets spanning topics such as demographics, science, politics and social media. Data is stored using the Wolfram Data Framework and Wolfram Language, making it immediately usable for computation, visualization and analysis. Datasets appear in formats including numerical, time series, image, audio, geospatial and graphs.
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Data & Repositories page provides access to various online data sources produced by WHOI researchers. It lists supported data resources including the WHOI Data Library and Archives, Woods Hole Open Access Server, Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory, Seafloor Sediments Data Collection, Alvin Frame-Grabber, Jason Virtual Control Van, Sealog, and project-based WHOI data.

The World Data Center for Aerosols is the data repository and archive for atmospheric aerosol microphysical, optical, and chemical property data, operated as part of the World Meteorological Organisation’s Global Atmosphere Watch programme. The centre supports long-term aerosol measurements to detect trends in global air chemical constituent distributions, with a focus on characterising the spatio-temporal distribution of aerosol properties related to climate forcing and air quality across regional, hemispheric, and global scales over multi-decadal time periods. It curates core long-term aerosol observation parameters including particle number concentration, size distribution, mass concentration, and cloud condensation nuclei concentration.
The World Data Center for Climate archives, disseminates and publishes Earth System model data and related data products for the international climate research community. It is hosted by the German Climate Computing Center in Hamburg and offers a search interface and data download free of charge for registered users.
World Data Center for Cosmic Rays is a data center established in 1957 that provides a database of worldwide cosmic-ray neutron observations in unified formats. It offers pressure-corrected and scale-adjusted hourly counts since 1953, with data available in longformat, shortformat and cardformat files, along with data plots. It is based at Nagoya University's Geospace Research Center.
The World Data Center for Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development has operated in Ukraine since 2006 as a full member of the World Data System (WDS) of the International Science Council (ISC). It specializes in interdisciplinary research of complex systems, provides the Ukrainian scientific community with access to ISC global information resources in Earth Sciences, Planetary and Space Physics and related disciplines, and collects and stores global and regional data for sustainable development research and managerial decision-making. It supports long-term societal sustainability decision-making and sustainable development perspective estimation.
The World Data Center for Geomagnetism, Kyoto provides geomagnetic field data from observatories worldwide along with the AE, ASY/SYM and Dst indices. It offers a HAPI server for indices and observatory data via API with in-browser plotting, and COMPASS image access via IIIF.
