Data Policy

Note relating to SIRTA data to maintain the integrity of the SIRTA data base and to ensure its perenniality:

  • SIRTA data are accessible freely and free of cost, for public research and teaching applications.
  • SIRTA data should only be distributed through SIRTA ftp and web access. SIRTA data not available online can be distributed by SIRTA instrument PIs.
  • Distribution of SIRTA data by third parties is prohibited.
  • The users of SIRTA data must verify that the data they are using is intended for publication; refer to the advice of instrument PIs.
  • The source of SIRTA data used in the framework of a publication must be mentioned in an explicit way in the acknowledgment section by a sentence of the type:

The authors would like to acknowledge SIRTA for providing the lidar data used in this study

  • When mentioning or describing the SIRTA observatory in a publication, use the following reference: (Haeffelin et al., 2005) 1
  • For the use of SIRTA data requiring a specific interpretation work and discussions essential to the exploitation of the data, it is required that relevant instrument PIs be proposed co-authorship in related publications.
  • The use of data, in synergy with SIRTA data, originating from another organization (e.g. Meteo-France, AERONET, etc…) requires specific mention of that source of data.
