BORTAS Data Conditions of Use

1. Access to BORTAS data submitted to the British Atmospheric Data Centre, BADC, will be restricted to BORTAS participants and those authorised by the PI for at most one year following the end of the project, after which they will be released into the public domain. In addition:
   • At the discretion of the PI some data may be made publicly available before this date.
   • FAAM core data collected for the BORTAS project will be restricted to BORTAS participants for one year following the flight according to the FAAM data protocol (with clause 5 invoked).
2. Whilst the data are restricted from the public domain, no data should be transferred to a third party without the originator's consent.
3. Whilst the data are restricted from the public domain, all investigators have the right to refuse that their work, whether measurement or calculation, be used in a publication or presentation prior to the investigators' own publication of that work.
4. If measurements or model results from BORTAS are used in a publication during or until 5 years after the programme, joint authorship must be offered.
5. In all cases where the data are used in a presentation or publication, an acknowledgement must be given: for example, "Data from BORTAS are provided via British Atmospheric Data Centre, BADC."
6. Information submitted in application for access to the data will be made available to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and its delegated authorities, i.e. the NERC Earth Observation Data Centre and the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) and their host organisation, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) for the purposes of tracking data usage and of improving the service.
