This web site allows both scientists and the general public to access the historical data from the legacy STORET system.   First-time users should narrow their search based on the options from the Query page, while experienced users may jump to the no-frills Advanced Query form for requesting data. 

Legacy STORET contains data of undocumented quality. Further, the data in this system is static, and all new data are being entered into Modernized STORET.
