The BADC has recently won a contract from Defra to deliver some services in support of distributing climate data to the UK and global community. One of those services is the IPCC data distribution centre. The contract was formally signed for a start date of February the 1st, and the eagle eyed in the community will have noticed that a new website appeared on the 2nd of February (the day the IPCC working group one released their summary statement) to replace the previous site at the Climate Research Unit in East Anglia.

Quite clearly we started ahead of the contract signing date, and we kept most of the previous site, but a lot of work was done on cleaning it up, removing broken links and improving performance. We've got a lot more planned too ... but anyway, I want to publicly acknowledge the team who did the hard work, particularly Charlotte Pascoe, Stephen Pascoe and Martin Juckes!

The IPCC data distribution centre is actually three websites, one in Germany, one in the U.S, and ours, so we're looking forward to further integration, and learning from our new colleagues.
