Any published results using the data should aknowledge the provider - GDS. The data cannot be redistributed in any form. In particular please do not put it on a www, gopher, ftp or other publically accessible server. Please follow these guidelines so that we can continue to make this data freely available to the Unidata community. Please make sure all your users are aware of these restrictions.
