Monitoring History

Monitoring began on 2017-06-15 10:00:00

All weather data was gathered by Hoboware data loggers until 10/29/2020.

Starting 10/29/2020 Plot B127 started recording all weather using ZL6 data loggers and meter sensors. Plots HH115, N115, U134, started recording additional soil moisture and soil temperature readings using Zl6 data loggers and meter sensors in conjuction with Hoboware weatehr data (including soil moisture and temp)

Starting 07/02/2021 All weather data was gathered by ZL6 data loggers

Scripts

1_ZL6_Consolidation.R

Purpose: To convert the raw data we receive from ZL6 data loggers into consistent units and formats across plots

Inputs: Raw data from the ZL6 data loggers stored in "G:/My Drive/East Woods/Rollinson_Monitoring/Data/Met Stations/Single_Plots/"

Outputs: Harmonized data csvs: B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv

Notes: This script became the main script for metstations as of 07/16/2021 when all four plots had ZL6 data loggers and atmos41 sensors gathering data (They were installed two weeks prior)

2_Met_Data_Clean.R

Purpose: To clean the raw data we recieve from our met stations

Inputs: Harmonized plot csv's created by script 1_ZL6_Consolidation.R (B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv)

Outputs: Harmonized data csvs (B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv)

Notes: Cleaning in this script is defined as removing impossible values (negative soil moisture) and removing measurements more than 4 standard deviations from the 2 week mean surrounding the date of measurement

3_Met_File_Seperation.R

Purpose: To further process the sensor data into yearly and monthly csv's

Inputs: Plot csv's created by script 2_Met_Data_Clean.R (B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv)

Outputs: Yearly and Monthly csv's for each plot (B127, U134, N115, HH115)

Notes: This script is set to only add on the new data instead of creating new files for all

4a_Met_Summary.R

Purpose: To visualize the trends in our sensor data

Inputs: Plot csv's created by script 1_Met_Consolidation.R (B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv)

Outputs: Summary figures for QAQC of met station data

Notes:

4b_Full_Data_Vis.RMD

Purpose: To visualize the trends in our sensor data

Inputs: Plot csv's created by script 1_Met_Consolidation.R (B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv)

Outputs: A markdown PDF that shows our data in it's various phases of cleaning and final figures

Notes: This is an RMD file (meaning RMarkdown) and not an R file

Legacy scripts for Hoboware sensors

Hoboware_Met_Consolidation.R

Purpose: To convert the raw data we receive from Hoboware data loggers into consistent units and formats across plots

Inputs: Raw data from the data loggers stored in "G:/My Drive/East Woods/Rollinson_Monitoring/Data/Met Stations/Single_Plots/"

Outputs: B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv

Notes: This script is for conversion and unification of data from hoboware sensors only

Met_Consolidation_OLD.R

Purpose: To convert the raw data we receive from data loggers into consistent units and formats across plots and data loggers

Inputs: Raw data from the data loggers stored in "G:/My Drive/East Woods/Rollinson_Monitoring/Data/Met Stations/Single_Plots/"

Outputs: B127.csv, U134.csv, N115.csv, HH115.csv

Notes: This script is for harmonizing hoboware and meter sensors

Old Scripts

Met_QAQC.R

Old Script for QAQC. May be adopted into new workflow

MetData_ConsolidatingRawData.R

Old Script for data consolidation. Function is now done by 1_Met_Consolidation.R

MetStation_CombineData_ArchivedVersion.R

Old script. Honestly not sure what it was used for.
