# -------------------------------------------------------------------- # USE OF NOAA ESRL DATA # # These data are made freely available to the public and the # scientific community in the belief that their wide dissemination # will lead to greater understanding and new scientific insights. # The availability of these data does not constitute publication # of the data. NOAA relies on the ethics and integrity of the user to # insure that ESRL receives fair credit for their work. If the data # are obtained for potential use in a publication or presentation, # ESRL should be informed at the outset of the nature of this work. # If the ESRL data are essential to the work, or if an important # result or conclusion depends on the ESRL data, co-authorship # may be appropriate. This should be discussed at an early stage in # the work. Manuscripts using the ESRL data should be sent to ESRL # for review before they are submitted for publication so we can # insure that the quality and limitations of the data are accurately # represented. # # Contact: Pieter Tans (303 497 6678; pieter.tans@noaa.gov) # # File Creation: Wed Jul 8 08:45:28 2015 # # RECIPROCITY # # Use of these data implies an agreement to reciprocate. # Laboratories making similar measurements agree to make their # own data available to the general public and to the scientific # community in an equally complete and easily accessible form. # Modelers are encouraged to make available to the community, # upon request, their own tools used in the interpretation # of the ESRL data, namely well documented model code, transport # fields, and additional information necessary for other # scientists to repeat the work and to run modified versions. # Model availability includes collaborative support for new # users of the models. # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # # # See www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/ for additional details. # # Data from March 1958 through April 1974 have been obtained by C.
