"Given note in ""Ben notes"" column, should the description be ""Flux"" since presumably other types of flux than soil respiration can be reported?
Consider adding a note similar to CSR_FLUX_CH4 for the directionality."
Given note in "Ben notes" column, should the description be "Standard error of CO2 flux" since 1) presumably other types of flux than soil respiration can be reported and 2) this is now CO2 specific?
Drop "soil" from description? CSR_FLUX_CO2
CSR_NEE -> move to ancillary
How is this measured? Is it from the air sampled in the chamber or is it a probe in the soil? If the later, consider CSR_SOIL_O2
CSR_PAR
Remove CSR_PORT from ancillary!
CSR_PRECIP
"Why not integer?"
CSR_TCHAMBER - use consistent nomenclature with CO2 and RH
CSR_TWATER - to ancillary
CSR_WIND
"WTD seems to be removed?
Note to DSC: check this -- I believe it is opposite of AmeriFlux"
sensor depths - "Originally this was ""gradient method only"". Is this still the case?
Consider adding to description, what type of sensors these depths are describing"
"AmeriFlux BADM has +/- equivalent site-level variables for most of these ancillary data. We have moved to an approach that requires a xx_STATISTIC (e.g., Min, Max, Mean) variable be supplies. We also allow for more detail in some cases, like approach, depths, etc
We anticipate adding spatial specificity in future.
We may not be able to map these ancillary data to AmeriFlux unless the additional statistic information is defined / supplied. This might be OK.
How would the data provider enter a measurement taken on a particular day but doesn't have finer resolution time information?"
Modify description of timestamp fields in ancillary - clarify e.g. for annual data
Timestamp is WINDOW OF MEASUREMENT
Date is "representative of this time period"
Maybe add CSR_DATE to ancillary? That could be 2020 or 2020-04 or 2020-04-07
- Email folks about PAR - in chamber or exterior?
- Check/email folks about WIND - chamber or site?
- Check/email folks about TWATER - chamber or site?
- Check/email folks about PRECIP - chamber or site?
- Make sure diagnostics and CSR_PORTS are integers in code
