GMOS-FR data policy

This data use policy describes how atmospheric data dedicated to the study of mercury compounds collected at sites coordinated by French research units (IGE UMR5001, GET UMR5563) within the international GMOS/GOS4M networks and long term observation experiments carried out as part of the French IPEV GMOStral-1028 programme and other national french and/or international programs (LabEX, LEFE) can be used. This data use policy may be subject to change in accordance with future use policies that may be implemented as part of GOS4M.

GMOS-FR data (levels 1 and 2 only) are freely available for non-commercial use. Use of these data implies an agreement to reciprocate. Institutes making similar measurements are strongly encouraged to make their own data available to the scientific community in a complete and easily accessible form. Modellers are encouraged to make available to the community upon request; their tools used in the interpretation of GMOS-FR data.
