Citation
Datasets and related data products and services are provided by the NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC, managed by the NASA Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) project. The GHRC DAAC is one of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), part of the ESDIS project. NASA data are freely accessible; however, when you publish these data or works based on the data, we request that you cite the datasets within the text of the publication and include a reference to them in your reference list. References to datasets, like the examples, below, should have enough detail to provide readers of your publication with the ability to obtain the datasets and conduct their own studies based on your work. (For complete provenance and understanding of specifically which parts of data were used and how, it also may be necessary to describe in detail, within the body of the publication, exactly how the data were used.)

Abstract
The GHRC DAAC mission is to provide an archive of both data and knowledge services with a focus on hazardous weather, its governing dynamical and physical processes, and associated applications. Within this broad mandate, GHRC will focus on lightning, tropical cyclones and storm-induced hazards through integrated collections of satellite, airborne, and in-situ data sets.
GHRC's Data Publication Portal is an online tool that allows for data producers to interact with the Data Management Group (DMG) at GHRC. The portal interface contains access to two required documents for data submission:
1) An archival interest form that allows a data producer to provide basic information about their dataset to the DMG team, and 2) A data product questionnaire in which data producers provide all important metadata and information to DMG for dataset publication. Behind the scenes, the Data Product Submission Portal is used by the DMG to push a data set through the data publication process. A data producer can use the tool to monitor the status of their data set.
