The World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG; a World Data Centre (WDC) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)) has been operated since 1990 by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). As the only WDC specializing greenhouse gases, it serves to collect, archive and distribute data on such gases (e.g., CO2, CH4, CFCs and N2O) and other related gases (such as CO) in the atmosphere.
On 19 March 2019, WDCGG began online provision of CO2 observation data from Japan’s Ibuki Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) for the period from April 2009 (https://gaw.kishou.go.jp/satellite) in addition to existing surface-based data.
