The '''Earth System Grid Federation''' (ESGF) is an international, multi-agency initiative that delivers a robust, decentralized infrastructure for accessing and analyzing massive climate datasets, critical to advancing global climate research. Originating from the Earth System Grid in the late 1990s, ESGF formalized in 2004 as a partnership led by the Department of Energy alongside NASA, NOAA, and international collaborators, hosting over 45 petabytes of data for more than 40,000 users across six continents.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://esgf.llnl.gov |title=Earth System Grid Federation |publisher=ESGF}}</ref> It underpins major efforts like the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), powering IPCC reports with peer-to-peer data nodes that prioritize transparency and reproducibility in climate science. | The '''Earth System Grid Federation''' (ESGF) is an international, multi-agency initiative that delivers a robust, decentralized infrastructure for accessing and analyzing massive climate datasets, critical to advancing global climate research.
