How to Obtain Data and Documentation
The end products of the data management plan are CDIAC's
numeric data packages or NDPs. Each NDP contains written documentation
and machine-readable data. CDIAC makes these NDPs available to anyone without
charge in a variety of forms, including floppy diskettes, CD-ROM, and
eight-millimeter tape. The
data packages are also available from the CDIAC anonymous file transfer
protocol(FTP)
area via Internet:
- FTP to cdiac.esd.ornl.gov (160.91.18.18)
- Enter "ftp" or "anonymous" as the user ID
- Enter your electronic mail address as the password
- Change to the directory pub/ndp080 (or any NDP number you needed)
- Acquire the files using the FTP "get" or "mget" command
or
- World Wide Web URL:

Data files are distributed as ASCII files. CDIAC also offers such services as creating subsets, merging, and data manipulation at no cost to the user.
