Access rules:
Access to these data is available to any registered CEDA user. Please Login or Register for an account to gain access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

Data is transfered directly from the instrument to the computer database, before being transferred to the general database, where it is processed, averaged over minute time intervals and flagged where data is suspect.Data processing software found in: https://github.com/ncasuk/AMF_CVs/releases/tag/v1.0.0
This data is extracted and sorted into columns.

Data Quality:
No response or zero factor implimented but data is analysed set by set, to check for anomylous times.
File Format:
NetCDF and CSV format
