return solar time with get_ts #260

Open aappling-usgs opened 8 years ago

aappling-usgs commented 8 years ago

i want to add this new item to streammetabolizer:

* BEHAVIOR CHANGE: get_ts now returns a new column, sitetime, that contains the 
date-time in in solar mean time. DateTime still does, and always has, returned 
the date-time in UTC time. sitetime also has tz()=='UTC', but it's much closer
to the local non-daylight-savings clock time.

but need to think about whether this is the best approach
