Figuring out the QC/QA standard by AmeriFlux
- https://ameriflux.lbl.gov/data/data-processing-pipelines/qaqc-tests/
- Data QA/QC Test Modules
  Data QA/QC is part of the AmeriFlux BASE QA/QC processing pipeline and evaluates the quality of data. Data QA/QC test modules assess units and sign conventions, timestamp alignments, trends, step changes, outliers based on site-specific historical ranges, multivariate comparisons, diurnal/seasonal patterns, USTAR (i.e., friction velocity) filtering, and variable availability. Read more details for the test modules:
  - Timestamp Alignment
  - Physical Range
  - Multivariate Comparison
  - Seasonal-Diurnal Pattern
  - USTAR Filtering
formatting for PyFluxPro demo on Sep 15.
Q&A for the automation
- SW_out_Avg = Shortwave In - Net Shortwave = CM3Dn_Avg = SWUp_Avg
- Albedo_Avg = Shortwave Out / Shortwave In = CM3Dn_Avg / CM3Up_Avg = SWUp_Avg / SWDn_Avg = albedo_avg (already in dataset)
