SMEAR II Data
The outline of data life cycle and terms of use is presented in .
Many measured variables are processed and stored automatically daily and updated manually afterwards in the database. Data stored in the SMEAR database can be accessed with web user interface that was taken into use in December 2013 and migrated to new address in January 2021.
In the new database the data are classified as processing class 1 (online processed data) or class 2 (quality-checked data with up-to-date calibration corrections etc.). Some variables in the database have no indication of whether they are uncorrected and uncalibrated automatically stored data or manually inserted quality-checked and calibrated data.
Data submitted to different international databases may be archived on the file servers (e.g. on smear group disk, directory /h527/smear/hyytiala/Database_EU). If the project or infrastructure database provides public access to data, local copies are not stored (for instance, ICOS).
