PPFD magnitude change in 2014 #1

Closed gremau closed 9 years ago

gremau commented 9 years ago

PPFD changes in mid 2014 at several sites and this needs to be corrected. Could be related to a new sensor installation.

I have changed the normalization routine in 'normalize_PAR_wrapper.m` such that only the start of 2014 is normalized for these sites, and the normalization height matches the maximum precip values for the new sensor installed later in the year. I have added PPine and MCon to this routine as well. Curiously there are some sites that don't have this problem in 2014 (PJ_girdle and New_GLand). Perhaps Ameriflux did not provide new PAR sensors for those sites only? See commits:

I am closing this issue, though I think there is still a fair bit to do in making sure that our radiation sensor changes are accounted for, corrected, and documented. For that refer to issue 15
