The Genesis Science team is pleased by your interest in the Genesis solar wind data!
For general help, or answers to specific questions, please get in touch with us: Send email to gnsteam@lanl.gov or refer to contact list at http://genesis.lanl.gov/contact_list.html.

LEVEL 2 DATA

Checked and verified Genesis solar wind parameters are issued as Level 2 data. The Level 2 data are openly available and intended for scientific study. We encourage you to consult members of the Genesis Science Team when using these data.

If you make use of any Genesis data in presentations or papers, we ask that you acknowledge Roger Wiens and the Los Alamos Genesis Science Team. In addition, we would appreciate your sending copies of any presentations and publications that make use of the Genesis data. By doing so you will help us to keep a record all scientific use of the Genesis data, so that we can report to NASA, our sponsor, the value and scientific impact of the Genesis mission.

Data values -9999, -9999., and variants (-9.999E+03, -1.00E+04, etc.) indicate indeterminate or invalid data.
