QA/QC-ed BCI meteorological drivers

Time series raw datasets of Temperature, Solar Radiation, Relative Humidity, Rainfall, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, and Wind Direction for the Barro Colorado (PA-BCI) site for the period from 2003-01-01 to 2016-12-31 were downloaded from the STRI website. The QA/QC protocol of raw datasets included the detection and removal of NAs, outliers and bad data points, imputation of missing data, and creation of the time series with equidistant time stamps. The time series for different meteorological parameters were aligned into a single database to be used for modeling. Statistical QA/QC analysis was performed using a series of R libraries in Rstudio. The changes in the dataset were flagged. The file BCI_met_drivers_2003-2016_QAQC_summary_report.docx provides the details of the QA/QC data analysis. This dataset was originally published on the NGEE Tropics Archive and is being mirrored on ESS-DIVE for long-term archival Acknowledgement: Steve Paton of STRI provided an initial QA/QC of all met drivers
