# 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.

#

# 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.

# Data from March 1958 through April 1974 have been obtained by C. David Keeling

# of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and were obtained from the

# Scripps website (scrippsco2.ucsd.edu).

#

# The estimated uncertainty in the annual mean is the standard deviation

# of the differences of annual mean values determined independently by

# NOAA/ESRL and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

#

# NOTE: In general, the data presented for the last year are subject to change,

# depending on recalibration of the reference gas mixtures used, and other quality

# control procedures. Occasionally, earlier years may also be changed for the same

# reasons. Usually these changes are minor.
