Input Timeseries Data

To run crspy-lite, you need timeseries data of your sensors "counting rate". You also need timeseries data of several meteorological variables for the processing, in order to form correction factors, calibrate the sensor and perform quality control. See below for guidance on the formating of this input data:

Formatting

The table below summarises the required variables that comprise the input data, denoting the expected column name and unit. Please note that all columns must be the same length. Any gaps in the data should be filled with 'nan' values.

NAME	UNITS	DESCRIPTION
DATETIME	Datetime	Datetime of the observation. Format: "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss"
MOD	Count	Moderated neutron count for time interval.
PRESS	mb	Pressure sensor measurement.
TEMP	Celsius	External Temperature at the site. This would be an external reading.
E_RH	(%)	External Relative Humidity at the site.
I_RH	(%)	Relative humidity inside the sensor box.
BATT	Volts	Voltage of the CRNS battery.
RAIN	mm	Rainfall at the site.

Once the input data has been formed the filepath can be copied and pasted into the metadata table.

This takes the form of a tab delimited text file comprised of the CRNS neutron count measurements as well as several meteorological variables that are required for the data processing. Users are therefore required to convert their data to this format. The table below summarises the variables required for the input data, denoting the expected column name and unit.
