- Questions regarding "Formatting Meteorological Data for EddyPro" section in guide:
- If the columns mentioned in table 1 Met Tower Variables are not present in the data file, should the write the current processed data to the output path, throw an error message and then exit from the program without further processing?
- Column names to check for (1) air temperature - 'Ta' (2) air pressure -? (3) relative humidity - 'RH_Avg' (4) incoming shortwave radiation - 'SWin' (5) incoming longwave radiation - 'LWin'and (6) Photosynthetically active radiation - 'PPFDr'
- EddyPro input file should contain: (1) air temperature from ghg(setup during running eddypro) and met data ( RTD_C_Avg, AirTC_Avg)(2) air pressure from ghg (setup during running eddypro) (3) relative humidity from met data (4) incoming shortwave radiation from met data (5) incoming longwave radiation from met data and (6) Photosynthetically active radiation from met data.
- We choose shf_Avg(1) or shf_Avg(2) based on which variable has min number of NANs. What should we choose if both have equal number of NaNs?
- Soil temp - we currently use TC_10cm_Avg or TC1_10cm_Avg or TC2_10cm_Avg - whichever has min number of NANs. I also see variables named SoilTemp(x)_Avg measurements. Is TC\d*_10cm_Avg the correct variables to be used?
- The variable name Moisture0_Avg (used for EddyPro label SWC) changes with filename / crop type. I think Bethany is working on a table to match these keys. Let me know if I am missing anything here.
- WindSpeed_Avg and WindDir_Avg is not present for 2000 data. What other variable should be used instead? If the timestamp is not 2000, shall we use these variables as such?
- Should skip these variables for 2021 only - correct? Or should it be skipped for all data?
- WindSpeed and Wind dir from 2020 onwards will be matched with ghg file.
- Dynamic naming of met tower variables (SHF_1_1_2) - needs some clarity. I have one note which says these will be fixed by PyFluxPro automatically and another note mentions its manual.
- If the columns mentioned in table 1 Met Tower Variables are not present in the data file, should the write the current processed data to the output path, throw an error message and then exit from the program without further processing?
- In dynamic metadata creation:
- Canopy height data can be taken wither from LAI measurements if completed, or from phenocam images. Phenocam images can be found on the Energy Farm server, directory “Z:\FTP\[Site Name]” As of fall 2018 new phenocams were installed, and images taken using the new cameras are deposited in “Z:\FTP\uief[Site Name]2”
