ecworkset: Merge time series and returns the workset dataframe

In domvit81/RFlux: Eddy Covariance Flux Data Processing

Description

Merge time series with common indexes (times) and returns the workset data frame to be used as input for the data cleaning procedure via cleanFlux function.

Usage

ecworkset(path_EPout, path_EPqc, path_EPmd, path_QCstat, path_output=NULL, FileName=NULL)

Arguments

path_EPout	path where the fulloutput file generated by EddyPro software is stored.
path_EPqc	path where the qcdetails file generated by EddyPro software is stored.
path_EPmd	path where the metadata file generated by EddyPro software is stored.
path_QCstat	path where the QC statistics file generated by qcStat is stored.
path_output	path where the results will be stored. Default is NULL.
FileName	a character string naming a file for writing. Default is NULL.

Details

Returns a dataframe ordered by common indexes (times) containing a set of variables selected from the fulloutput, metadata, qcdetails files generated by EddyPro via eddypro_run and the statistics of the quality control routines (Vitale et al, 2019) generated by qcStat.

Value

A dataframe object to be used as input of the cleanFlux. For the meaning of variables and units see the EddyPro manual and the qcStat function description.
