The Energy Balance Ratio correction method was modified from the `FLUXNET2015
<https://fluxnet.fluxdata.org/>`__ methodology for correcting daily latent energy and
sensible heat.  Additionally, FLUXNET and `AmeriFlux
<https://ameriflux.lbl.gov/>`__ 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 <https://github.com/WSWUP/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
