ACME Data

Data Download Help Page

The ACME Data Download tool allows users to download biogeochemical data for South Florida sites in tab-delineated or CSV (comma-separated values) text format, which may then be imported into most spreadsheet or database programs. Users may select any subset of data parameters and South Florida sites for which one would like to obtain data, for any period since 1999.

An interactive Google Map application provides the location of the sites with data being served in the ACME Database. Information provided upon activating site pins includes site name, site type, general site information, site latitude and longitude, basin, and Institution site established by.
