Scientific paper

The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is a NASA Medium Class Explorer Mission that conducted a digital, imaging survey of the entire sky in the 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 micron bands in 2010. The WISE Final Data Release is scheduled for the Spring of 2012, and will be comprised of an Atlas of 18,240 coadded 1.56x1.56 degree image sets covering the sky, and an all-sky Source Catalog containing accurate positions and fluxes in the four WISE bands for several hundred million objects detected on the Atlas Images. The Final Release will include several ancillary products including over 1.5 million sets of WISE single-exposure images and a Working Database of more than 9 billion source extractions made from those images.
The Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology is the WISE Science Data Center (WSDC) and is responsible for processing, archiving and distribution of WISE science data products. We will describe the general properties, characteristics and Atlas and Catalog formats of the WISE Final Release Data Products, and how those data can be accessed by the user community via the on-line services of the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive.
