Agenda

1. Mapping of met_tower_variable_names from 2020 to 2021 names
   1. This csv file will contain 2 columns, named Original and Target. Original column will contain non-standard met tower variable names like Solar_Wm2_Avg and Sw_Out_Avg. Target column will have the 2021 standardised variable names like SWDn_Avg and SWUp_Avg. 
   2. This mapping file can also contain mappings like in NOTES#20.
   3. This input file will be read in met_data_merge.py, and in pre_pyfluxpro.py (l1format.py and l2format.py)
   4. With this mapping, we can use 2020 L1 and L2 input files.
   5. Example of this file will have 2 columns named "Original" and "Target". The original will contain the old / non-standard variable names (2020 version or ealier) and target will contain the 2021 standard variable names.
2. Do we need 2 input L1 and L2 files? Can we make L1_mainstem_input and L1_ameriflux_only inputs as one file?  and L2_mainstem_input and L2_ameriflux_only_input as one file?
3. Check missing H2O variable (not able to reproduce the error).
4. Add precipitation to L2 data — Precip_IWS can be added to Ameriflux-Mainstem-Key.xlsx → this will write Precip_IWS to L1_ameriflux.txt and L2_ameriflux.txt.
5. Duplicate variables problem in L2 creation (being resolved)
6. Soil variables are missing in L2 (resolved)
