Data access
===========

TropFlux data is freely available for research and education purposes.

See in :ref:`data_out_user` for access surface heat and momentum flux 
data over the January 1979 to March 2013 period.

See in :ref:`changes` for information about changes with respect to the 
previous version of the data.

The data is in NetCDF format.

Please provide us (mailto:tropflux@locean-ipsl.upmc.fr) your name, institute,
contact e-mail and a short sentence on how you plan to use the data.

Please cite |pkbetal2012|_ in any publication using the heat flux data and 
|pkbetal2013|_ in any paper using the wind stress data. 
Please acknowledge us by using the following sentence: 
**The TropFlux data is produced under a collaboration between 
Laboratoire d'Océanographie: Expérimentation et Approches Numériques (LOCEAN) from
Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL, Paris, France) and 
National Institute of Oceanography/CSIR (NIO, Goa, India), and 
supported by Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD, France). 
TropFlux relies on data provided by the ECMWF Re-Analysis interim (ERA-I) 
and ISCCP projects.**

Please keep us informed of any published paper that makes use of this data.
