fGetSiteInfo: Get metadata for selected site

In ksmiff33/FluxSynthU: Suite of functions to analyze eddy covariance data

Description

This function retrieves metadata (lat, long, name, elevation, MAT, MAP, etc.) for a selected site within the FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux, and NEON databases. Here you provide a dataframe (dat) containing all of the required columns specified in args. In addition you will need to specify the site you're retrieting data for (and its respective database). Likewise, you will need to specify column names for each of the required variables.

Usage

fGetSiteInfo(
  dat,
  site,
  db,
  site_col,
  db_col,
  site_name_col,
  start_yr_col,
  end_yr_col,
  exclude_yr_col,
  lat_col,
  long_col,
  country_col,
  IGBP_col,
  elev_col,
  MAT_col,
  MAP_col
)
