                     Conditions of Use

The ADAPT (Air Force Data Assimilative Photospheric Flux Transport)
global magnetic maps, along with the SIFT (Solar Indices Forecast 
Tool) forecast estimate data, are available here as part of 
collaborative effort between AFRL and NSO. As additional improvements 
are incorporated into the modeling development, file formats and 
content are subject to change without notice (though, note that files 
include model version meta-data for reference). Use of the ADAPT maps 
or the SIFT forecast data for publication, further distribution, or 
additionally derived products, should include the following 
acknowledgement statement:

  This work utilizes data produced collaboratively between Air Force 
  Research Laboratory (AFRL) & the National Solar Observatory (NSO). 
  The ADAPT model development is supported by AFRL. The input data 
  utilized by ADAPT is obtained by NSO/NISP (NSO Integrated Synoptic 
  Program). NSO is operated by the Association of Universities for 
  Research in Astronomy (AURA), Inc., under a cooperative agreement 
  with the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

An additional acknowledgement is needed when using the SIFT F10.7 
forecast data:

  The 10.7 cm solar radio flux data service, utilized by the 
  ADAPT/SIFT F10.7 forecasting model, is operated by the National 
  Research Council of Canada and National Resources Canada, with 
  the support of the Canadian Space Agency.

When using the SIFT Mg II core-to-wing ratio forecast data, the
following additional acknowledgement statement is requested:

  The ADAPT/SIFT Mg II index forecasts utilize the observed Mg II 
  core-to-wing ratio values from Mark Weber.

And, when using the SIFT SSN forecast data, the following additional 
comment is requested:

  The SIFT SSN forecasts utilize the observed SSN from WDC-SILSO, 
  Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels.

For presentations, the following abbreviated form of the 
acknowledgement statement is also an option: 

  This work utilizes data produced collaboratively between 
  AFRL/ADAPT and NSO/NISP.
