How to cite data/plots

You can use the plots produced from this page in publications. We ask that you acknowledge the Physical Sciences Division of NOAA/ESRL in the publication. For example, "Image provided by the NOAA-ESRL Physical Sciences Division, Boulder Colorado from their Web site at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/".

You will also need to cite the source of the data directly.
