Data can be accessed from a variety of Madrigal sites, including (but not limited to) Millstone Hill, USA, Arecibo, Puerto Rico, EISCAT, Norway, SRI International, USA, Cornell University, USA, Jicamarca, Peru, ,the Consortium of Resonance and Rayleigh Lidars, the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Oulu, Finland, and finally, the archival CEDAR site.

Data can also be accessed directly, using APIs which are available for several popular programming languages (Matlab, python, and IDL). A Subversion archive of all Madrigal software and documentation is available from the Open Madrigal Web site. The latest version of Madrigal and the remote API's may also be downloaded from there.
