Acknowledgements

The Energy Balance Ratio correction method was modified from the FLUXNET2015 methodology for correcting daily latent energy and sensible heat. Additionally, FLUXNET and AmeriFlux eddy covariance data was used for code development and we thank them for mantaining and providing eddy flux data.

We would also like to acknowledge the RefET python package and its developer Charles Morton. RefET methods are used in flux-data-qaqc for calculating the American Soceity of Civil Engineers Standardized reference ET using the hourly and daily formulations, as well as the calculation for potential solar radiation.

Contributing

flux-data-qaqc is an open-source Python package and anyone seriously interested in contributing is encouraged to do so. Look for current issues to get started or offer direct changes with a pull request.

Seek support or give feedback

Any suggestions or feedback that are nontechnical but related to software development or usage please open a GitHub issue. Any other feedback may be sent to John.Volk@dri.edu.
