ReadAmerifluxNCOldFormat(pathFluxData, timeZone = NULL,
  utcOffset = NULL)

Arguments

pathFluxData

The full pathname to the flux time series NetCDF file as downloaded from an Ameriflux data server (OLD FORMAT).

timeZone

The time zone for the flux site. Time zone name must be R-friendly for your current OS. See: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/timezones.html. Provide this OR a UTC offset. Note that Ameriflux data is (allegedly!) in local time without daylight savings.

utcOffset

The UTC offset for the flux site's local time. These should be in positive or negative hours (e.g., -7 for "America/Denver" with no DST shift). These values will supercede any provided time zones. See tzLookup for a list of time zone UTC offsets.
