.. _data-sources: ***************** TOAR Data Sources ***************** :numref:`table-data-sources` summarise sources of the data in the TOAR database. Note that it describes the data sources which provided surface ozone data to the first phase of the Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report. While most of these data are re-used in TOAR-II, there may be some changes because of data licensing issues (TOAR-II declared to make all data available under a CC-BY 4 license, but not all data providers have granted permission to do so), or because the responsible agency for providing the data has changed. We hope and expect that several new sources of data can be added to this compilation over the next 1-2 years. A major new data collection effort for TOAR-II will occur during the year 2022, and this document shall be updated accordingly after completion [#f10]_. .. _table-data-sources: .. table:: Summary of data sources in the TOAR database. This table only contains datasets encompassing about 10 stations. The TOAR database contains about 136 additional data sets which do not originate from one of the data providers listed below. :widths: 24, 15, 15, 23, 23 :class: longtable
