通过利用现有技术在统一的虚拟环境中管理分布式气候数据，地球系统网格（ESG）项目正在促进国际研究中心与不同用户之间的数据共享。在将这些数据转化为一种协作性的社区资源的过程中，ESG正在改变全球气候研究的开展方式。
自2004年ESG开始投入生产以来，其最显著的成就在于将约20个全球海洋 - 大气耦合模型的气候模拟数据高效地存储并分发给政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）第四次评估报告（AR4）的众多科学撰稿人；IPCC的集体科学成就获得了2007年诺贝尔和平奖的认可。其他国际气候相关方，如北美区域气候变化评估计划（NARCCAP）以及社区气候系统模型（CCSM）和气候科学计算终端站（CCES）的开发者，也认可了ESG向其各自用户群体传播数据的技术。在未来几年，近期成立的地球系统网格使能技术中心（ESG - CET）将扩展这些方法，以协助国际气候界更好地理解全球气候。
By leveraging current technologies to manage distributed climate data in a unified virtual environment, the Earth System Grid (ESG) project is promoting data sharing between international research centers and diverse users. In transforming these data into a collaborative community resource, ESG is changing the way global climate research is conducted.Since ESG's production beginnings in 2004, its most notable accomplishment was to efficiently store and distribute climate simulation data of some 20 global coupled ocean-atmosphere models to the scores of scientific contributors to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); the IPCC collective scientific achievement was recognized by the award of a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Other international climate stakeholders such as the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and the developers of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and of the Climate Science Computational End Station (CCES) also have endorsed ESG technologies for disseminating data to their respective user communities. In coming years, the recently created Earth System Grid Center for Enabling Technology (ESG-CET) will extend these methods to assist the international climate community in its efforts to better understand the global climate
