Actris Data Centre

The ACTRIS Data Centre (ACTRIS DC) is developed through the EU project Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network (URI: http://www.actris.eu) within the EC 7th Framework Programme under "Research Infrastructures for Atmospheric Research". The ACTRIS DC provides free and open access to all data resulting from the activities of the ACTRIS infrastructure network, complemented with data from other relevant networks and data bases.

Data Management "ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure - http://actris.eu) isthe European Research Infrastructure for the observation of Aerosol, Clouds, and Trace gases. ACTRIS is composed of observing stations, exploratory platforms, instrument calibration centres, and a data centre. By this, ACTRIS is improving atmospheric observations, developing new methods and protocols, and harmonizing existing observations.ACTRIS is offering high quality data for atmospheric aerosols, clouds, and trace gases. The aim of the ACTRIS data policy is to state the condition of use for all data resulting from the ACTRIS infrastructure.ACTRIS-2 is a European Project supported by the European Commission Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework Programme (H2020-INFRAIA-2014-2015)running from1 May 2015 to 30 April 2019.An ACTRIS Data Management Plan (DMP)is established as a part of ACTRIS-2, following the European Commission “Guideline on Data Management in Horizon 2020”. The ACTRIS DMP describes the comprehensive data management of all observational data, as well as research products produced within ACTRIS and is available from the ACTRIS Data Centre."
Data Policy "All ACTRIS data are available at no cost from the ACTRIS Data Portal: http://actris.nilu.no/ and from each of the topical ACTRIS data repositories for non-commercial use. Use of these data implies an agreement to reciprocate.There are two types of data provided through the ACTRIS Data Portal: ACTRIS data sets: Data organised, produced or funded within the context of the ACTRIS project. Every dataset created within ACTRIS is owned by the ACTRIS partner(s) who created this dataset. The data policy and use of these data is regulated in section 2.1 (aerosol profiles), section 2.2 (aerosol and trace gas near-surface data), and section 2.3 (cloud profile data). Other relevant data: Data archived and owned by other frameworks or data providers These data are managed and owned by other organisations or data providers, and hosted in other data bases (e.g. NDACC), but are identified as relevant and made available through the ACTRIS Data Portal. These data are provided with the permission of each organisation or data provider contributing to the data archive. Each dataset may have its own data policy that will supersede the ACTRIS data policy. The conditions of use of these data are described in section 2.4."
Data Sharing Principle "ACTRIS Cloud profile data are reported to the Cloudnet data base: http://www.cloud-net.org/data/and are accessible from this repository and from the ACTRIS Data Portal (http://actris.nilu.no).Conditions of use ACTRIS cloud data are free to use for non-commercial research purposes. Registration is required, and username and password are obtained by contacting the Cloudnet data manager Ewan O'Connor (e.j.oconnor@reading.ac.uk).If you use ACTRIS cloud data in a publication you must include an acknowledgement to the ACTRIS and Cloudnet project, the site at which the measurements were taken and the institute that provided the dataset you used. Guidelines for the form of such an acknowledgement are given below.If you receive assistance in data analysis or detailed advice essential to the interpretation of the data from a project partner, then co-authorship should be proposed to that partner in any forthcoming publications.In publications using ACTRIS and Cloudnet products you should reference the paper in which the algorithm is described, if available.
