## Welcome to the NSIDC Data Cookbook!

This Cookbook for National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center ([NSIDC DAAC](https://nsidc.org/data/data-programs/nsidc-daac)) Data is more Julia Child’s “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” than just a collection of recipes (or data tutorials). The aim is to not only provide easy to follow recipes for working with data but also to provide an understanding of the data managed by NSIDC and the tools available to work with the data. It is not an in-depth guide to the many datasets housed by NSIDC but instead is an introduction to the common types of data, file formats and data structures. The hope is that the cookbook will provide a guide and foundataion to help you *master the art of working with cryospheric data*.

If you are brand new to NASA or NSIDC data, begin with the **Getting Started** section. Beyond that, the cookbook is divided into four major sections: **NSIDC Data**, **Working with Data**, **How-To Guides**, and **Tutorials / Workshops**. We also include some **Appendices** that include a best practices guide for Python scripting and some background details on computing.

The **NSIDC Data** section is an introduction to the types of data managed by NSIDC, the file formats used to store that data, coordinate reference systems and grids comon to NSIDC data, and a guide to NASA terminology for Earth science data. There is also an introduction to some “quirky” datasets that do not fit more common simple data structures or are just a little more difficult to work with.

This section of the cookbook contains longer form tutorials providing examples of data search and access within a workflow. NSIDC is frequently involved in hackweeks and workshops as well. Content from some of those events can be found in the [NSIDC Data Tutorials Repository](https://github.com/nsidc/NSIDC-Data-Tutorials).
