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 drivers2003年1月1日至2016年12月31日期间，巴拿马巴罗科罗拉多岛（PA-BCI）观测点的气温、太阳辐射、相对湿度、降雨量、气压、风速和风向的时间序列（time series）原始数据集，从STRI网站下载获取。 该原始数据集的质量保证与质量控制（QA/QC, Quality Assurance/Quality Control）流程包括：检测并移除缺失值（NAs, Not Available）、异常值与无效数据点，对缺失数据进行插补，同时生成具有等距时间戳的时间序列。 将不同气象参数的时间序列数据对齐整合至单一数据库，以供建模使用。 本次统计类QA/QC分析采用Rstudio中的一系列R包完成，数据集的所有修改均已标记备案。 文件BCI_met_drivers_2003-2016_QAQC_summary_report.docx详细说明了本次QA/QC数据分析的具体内容。 本数据集最初发布于NGEE Tropics Archive，目前已在ESS-DIVE进行镜像以实现长期归档存储。 致谢：STRI的史蒂夫·佩顿（Steve Paton）完成了所有气象驱动因子的初步QA/QC工作。
