structure_dirs: Set Up Folder Structure
In grahamstewart12/tidyflux:

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Folder structure recommended for eddy covariance data processing and archivation.

1	structure_dirs(root = ".", create_dirs = FALSE, ...)

`root`	A character string defining the root of created folder structure.
`create_dirs`	A logical value. Indicates whether directories should be created.
`...`	Further arguments to be passed to `dir.create` function.

The purpose is to standardize the locations for metadata and post-processing inputs required to run the proposed workflow as well as to store data and metadata in levels corresponding to processing stage. The folder structure is not required to succesfully apply the workflow but simplifies its use. Adapted from: openeddy - structure_dirs

Data processing stages:

Level 0: Raw files with measured high frequency eddy covariance data and relevant metadata or instrument setup files.
Level 1: Processing software setup and output files and a logbook.
Level 2: Quality checking results and documentation, definition of ecosystem boundary, storage flux processing and files used as inputs for Level 3 data.
Level 3: gap-filling output and its documentation, summary of the computed fluxes and meteorological data including their aggregation.

A named list with paths to folder structure directories. Corresponding directories are created as a function side effect if create_dirs = TRUE (default).
