Changes for 2018

Data products

Environmental Logger

Geostreams

• exclude wavelength from geostreams dataset

netcdf

• we may not need to keep variables in both geostreams and netcdf. netcdf can be used specifically for solar informtion
• redundant variables: raw_ and sensor_ values (e.g. of par, co2, etc) are redundant with variables that have names like 'Atmospheric_CO2_concentration'.
  • Remove variables beginning in raw_ from the environmental logger netcdf files
  • variables beginning in sensor_ have no data
  • use consistent standard names

Lemnatec Metadata

https://github.com/terraref/reference-data/issues/176

• use controlled vocabularies, e.g. as described in https://github.com/terraref/sensor-metadata/blob/master/README.md
  • provide dictionary for metadata fields
• add url link to managements from experiment_metadata field (??) similar to select * from managements where treatment_id in (select id from treatments join traits join sites join experiments where experiments.name = ....)
