# Data Catalog

The best way to familiarise yourself with the available data is to explore the catalog:&#x20;

Datasets are tagged with useful descriptors which helps when searching for available datasets:&#x20;

Each dataset has a Description, Terms of Use, Citations and access information.&#x20;

Users can also add the data to their Code Editor directly:&#x20;
