ACE Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS) hourly intensities and count rates, for each of 14 elements (He,C,N,O,Ne,Na,Mg,Al,Si,S,Ar,Ca,Fe,Ni).in each of 8 energy bins. Overall energy ranges covered go from 3.4-41 MeV/n for helium to 10.5-168 MeV/n for iron. These are calibrated science quality data. The data are accessible via ftp in HDF and CDF from the ACE Science Center and CDAWeb, respectively, and in ASCII format from the value-added interfaces at those sites. The "parameter keys" given below are as used by CDAWeb.

The quality of ACE level 2 data is such that it is suitable for serious scientific study. However, to avoid confusion and misunderstanding, it is recommended that users consult with the appropriate ACE team members before publishing work derived from the data. The ACE team has worked hard to ensure that the level 2 data are free from errors, but the team cannot accept responsibility for erroneous data, or for misunderstandings about how the data may be used. This is especially true if the appropriate ACE team members are not consulted before publication. At the very least, preprints should be forwarded to the ACE team before publication.
