When you wish to use climate data collected under the responsibility by ANS
please note that:
- A formal request for data is needed. The request should be supplied by a
brief outline of the intended use of the data.
- The data should not be passed to a third person.
- Shorter data series may generally be obtained without any limitation.
Please note that the data delivered by ANS is normally "raw" data to which
only the calibration in current use is applied. For some purposes the
temporary calibrations may be sufficient.
- There is no long data series at ANS which is homogeneous. For all parameters
there have been changes of sites as well as of instruments and methods of
evaluation. The data should be considered as raw till ANS specifically states
that the data are calibrated including an analysis of the homogeneity. Final
data would normally be available in publications by the ANS.
- ANS might require co-authorship in publications arising form extensive use of
ANS climate data and ANS must be acknowledged as the source of the data in
any publication.
- ANS requires a copy of the publications in which the ANS data are used.
- The data should be primarily used for nonprofitable research. When economic
benefits are involved you must ask for a special permit by the director of ANS.
