Hi Julien,
Unfortunately, I have limited knowledge on the data quality as I wasn't
able to download it (the server returns error). I let the CT point of
contact (Scott) know about the problem -- he mentioned in our communication
that he forwarded the issue to the tech support team, but I haven't heard
from them since then and I'm still unable to download it.
