note the sensor swap and maintenance log (sensor_swap_serial_numbers.xlsx) in Dropbox::ASU/GIOS/Research/CAP-LTER/research/MicrometTowers

Note that the local and NIS versions of 636.2 are slightly out-of-step as I failed to add the key word attributes (theme, place) before committing to the NIS. Creating a version 3 just to address this seemed excessive, and this will be rectified when new data warrant a version 3.

Roy: "I forgot to mention that the rain gauge at LDP was vandalized (cover stolen, cable cut). There is an anomalous data point in the file on 4/20/18 (1.524 at 03:30:00) that I’m guessing was caused by the vandals, as I doubt there was any rain there last month, especially that much. So that point and those thereafter are not valid data IMO. Not sure how long the gauge will be out, have yet to hear from Sally who’s been in the field."

Because we do not know when this happened, I changed all precip. data since when the data were last downloaded (2017-12-19 11:30:00) to NA. We likely lost some good data with that approach but that is preferable to housing any erroneous data.

newdata <- newdata %>% 
  mutate(rain_mm_tot = replace(rain_mm_tot, timestamp >= '2017-12-19 11:40:00', NA))

just received an email from Campbell stating that they could not calibrate Apogee PYR-P Pryanometer sn.3356 and that it can not be repaired. it seems it was removed from the LDP site on 2017-05-15. how does the data from LDP look while it was deployed between 2015-05-15 and 2017-05-15?
