Collated Data - Naming Issues (Carbon/Chl) #28

Open akshoelace opened 2 years ago

akshoelace commented 2 years ago

Carbon naming - need better detail in order to understand differences between DOC, DIC, TOC, TIC, etc. Chlorophyll - Chl column from YSI needs to be removed

On a more general note, we should consider a consistent naming scheme not just WITHIN each dataset but also ACROSS them, and consider pushing this change to EDI in the next round of revisions. E.g. columns can be prefixed with the type of sample: "particulate_organic_carbon_umol_L" vs "dissolved_organic_carbon_umol_L".

@kplumb18 you mentioned being interested in coming up with a scheme, and I'd appreciate your expertise with the different kinds of data here.
