RE: Level 2 data file

 

If you want to access the L2 data file, read on.  You may think this seems like overkill, but I just want to recognize that: a lot of work has gone into compiling these data; that work deserves recognition if it results in something like a publication; and we live in a litigious universe.

If you have any concerns about or objections to the user agreement which starts below, please contact me and we can talk about it.

  5. These data are provided "as is;"   there is no express or implied guarantee that these compiled data are accurate or complete.
