From this page you can download the RAPID timeseries data. A full description of the data files is given in the README file and the error estimates is given in README error file. Use the links on the left to view plots of the data and read about related data. To access the data we ask that you leave your email address so that we can notify you when updates to the timesereis become available and so that we can record the number of times the data is accessed.
