ITOP-UK Conditions of Use Applying to Forecasts and Non-Core Flight Data

• Should ITOP-UK data be used to support a research study, it is essential that the ITOP-UK Principal Investigator will be made aware that the data are being used.
• It is imperative that the ITOP-UK Principal Investigator be consulted when suspicious data is encountered or when interpretation of data becomes dependent upon understanding the underlying technique.
• Should a study using ITOP-UK data lead to some publication, it is expected that the relevant ITOP investigators will be offered co-authorship and the opportunity to comment on the manuscript prior to submission for publication.
• Whilst the data are restricted from the public domain (i.e. during a period of time of 18 months following submission to the BADC), the Prinicipal Investigator has the right to refuse to allow his work to be used in a publication or presentation prior to his own publication of that work.
