Ether is a joint venture between CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) and CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) - INSU (Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers) to promote research in atmospheric chemistry.

Ether supported the transition from the MOZAIC databank to the central MOZAIC-IAGOS database, and is now supporting the development of added-value products on the database.

Ether supports the development of other databases and provides datasets for the research community:

• Databases: 
  • ECCAD (Emission data and ancillary data for emission calculations)
    
  • GEISA (Spectroscopic data base)
    
  • KINETIC (Chemical kinetic data base)
    
  • RAMCES (Atmospheric network for measurements of greenhouse compounds)
    
  • NDACC-France (Network for Detection of Atmospheric Composition Changes)
    
  • MOZAIC-IAGOS
    
• Datasets:
  
  • ODIN-SMR
    
  • IASI
    

Ether allows the use of some tools:

• MIMOSA (Isentropic maps of potential vorticity from ECMWF analyses & forecasts)
  
• REPROBUS (Chemistry Transport Model diagnoses for polar winters)
  
• GIRAFE (Biomass burning plumes)
