Access restrictions: Note that though these data are freely accessible, the PI requests that users contact PI regarding usage so the OFP can keep an accurate record of how OFP data has been used to discuss possible synergies/overlaps among other data users and also to ensure any questions about details of sampling, data quality, etc. are clear. Proper acknowledgement of the OFP time series is requested. See the "OFP Agreement" file (PDF) for Fair Use Policy.
