The National Information System for Climate and Environment Studies (NICES) program is operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Department of Space.
It aims to enhance the participation of academia and research institutions in addressing the climate change-related challenges through dedicated multi-disciplinary scientific investigations.
Since its inception in 2012, NICES has developed and made accessible over 70 geophysical variables related to Terrestrial, Ocean, and Atmospheric conditions.
