removing duplicate sites is an open issue in BETYdb https://github.com/PecanProject/bety/issues/201, deleting duplicates requires updating dependent rows.
These duplicates were removed. However, checking other sites with adjacent ID numbers suggests that a number of duplicate sites were created -- this appears to have occurred when I created the site groups for Fluxnet2015 (probably because the coordinates in that site were slightly different from the Ameriflux and Fluxnet sites). A side effect of removing EMS and NR1 are that they are now no longer in the Fluxnet2015 site group. I need to write a script that goes through the entirety of Fluxnet2015 to clean up duplicates and associate the site group with the correct (non duplicate) sites, and then fix the original script to not create duplicates (as this script will need to be rerun periodically as new sites are added to the FLUXNET synthesis).
see also pecanproject/bety#246 and pecanproject/bety#201 for a more comprehensive discussion of duplicate sites, how to find and combine them, and how to prevent duplicates in the future (by cleanup + adding constraints)
And here is a generic SQL function to merge duplicate records: https://github.com/PecanProject/bety/issues/185#issuecomment-71534163

Hi,
I am using met.process and find these two are duplicate sites on psql:
------------+-----------------------------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------+------------ 772 | Niwot Ridge Forest/LTER NWT1 (US-NR1) | POINT(-105.546 40.0329) | 2011-12-10 19:09:48 | 52 1000005138 | Niwot Ridge Forest (LTER NWT1) (US-NR1) | POINT(-105.5464 40.0329) | 2016-07-28 21:04:18.008933 | 1000000001
same for US-Ha1:
------------+------------------------------------------+-------------------------+----------------------------+------------ 758 | Harvard Forest EMS Tower/HFR1 (US-Ha1) | POINT(-72.1715 42.5378) | 2011-12-10 19:09:48 | 52 1000005128 | Harvard Forest EMS Tower (HFR1) (US-Ha1) | POINT(-72.1715 42.5378) | 2016-07-28 21:04:17.430147 | 1000000001
