Discovering and Accessing Atmospheric Science Literature and Data with the Science Explorer

We introduce the Science Explorer (SciX): it is the literature-based, open digital information system covering and unifying the fields of Astrophysics, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Earth Science. SciX combines a scalable, discipline-agnostic core with a set of discipline specific knowledge centers which curate and enrich its content using the deep subject matter expertise which has been crucial to the success of its predecessor, the Astrophysics Data System (ADS). In this presentation we highlight how SciX enables the discovery of Atmospheric Science literature. Furthermore, we highlight how SciX supports Open Science in Atmospheric Science. By integrating from and linking to hundreds of data sources, such as publishers, archives, data centers, and libraries, SciX has created a powerful international, multi-partner research discovery ecosystem, unified by the SciX digital library system. SciX is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under NASA Cooperative Agreement 80NSSC21M0056.
