Following it by everyone will facilitate submitting IM4CA data to ICOS Carbon Portal, but also calculating emissions rates and final upscaling. On the previous, post-campaing meeting for ground teams, we came to the conclusion that ideal, one team is responsible for the quanitifcation, using well-prepared data from the ground teams. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Some clarifications:</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can find the template in the attachment, as a txt file: "IM4CA_Romania_Campaing_in_situ_metadata_data_format".</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The file name convention is: <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;" data-mce-style="font-size: 13.5pt;">yyyy-mm-dd-ROMxxxx-seq-team.csv (details in .txt file)</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, it should be 1 csv file per site and sequence, merged in a zip file. Separate zip files should be made for car, drone and tall tower measurements. This csv file should include all mentioned metadata in the template plus a dataframe. Note # is used as a comment, ; as a column separation and . for decimal places.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Note also, that based on ICOS CP suggestion, dataformat is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ and the data should be in UTC time.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We need to decide the common nomenclature for site type details (e.g., pumpjack, gas well, water tank).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">System diagnostic are omitted to facilate following the data. It's also up to invidiual teams to use their instrument system dignostic to flag data. The method of flagging and correcting/calibrating data should be also desribed in the metadata.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Please, especially from the drone mass balance perspective, let me know if some crucial variables are missing (maybe some more information about the highet above the ground)?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> We should be able to send around an examples datafile from LSCE next week, so it should help to follow the template. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Deadline</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">First datafiles should be created until end of this month, for the ICOS CP submission. Then, ideally each team prepars the set of their .csv until September, for further quantifications and upscaling.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Submission to ICOS CP</strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We will ask ICOS CP for the data embargo, potentially until end of the project. In this case, we will have enough time to work on our data before they come publicly available. However, we still need to submit data to ICOS CP relatively quickly, to prove to EU that data publication chain is established.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For the submission to the ICOS CP, data should go through at list first quality control. Then, later in the project, new data versions can be added as well. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The first submission, of some example data should be done until end of this month. It should be separate submissions of all csv files merged into indvidual zip folders for drone, cars and tall tower measurements (eg., one zip folder per measurement platform), with added a spreadsheet "spatiotemp_uploadmeta_im4ca-wp1_DRAFT". Also, some metadata report should be included there. Hopefully, this report can be made by extracting information from Deliverable 1.1.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> <strong>Additionla needed actions </strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">1) </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Please also fill the spreadsheet of visited sites. It is crucial we have the informations about: site name, type, details, lat, long, sniffing, done quantification and if CH4 emissions was observed. Having this data, we are able to make a quick statistic now and how may sites were visited. It will also allow to estiamte how long it will take to calcualte emission rate from all visited sites. You can find the individual spreadsheets for each team here:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Object" role="link" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT92_com_zimbra_url"><a href="https://vu.data.surf.nl/s/emwBToabB7H94n7?dir=/Data/Romania%20campaign/OVERVIEW%20Field_collected_data" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://vu.data.surf.nl/s/emwBToabB7H94n7?dir=/Data/Romania%20campaign/OVERVIEW%20Field_collected_data">https://vu.data.surf.nl/s/emwBToabB7H94n7?dir=/Data/Romania%20campaign/OVERVIEW%20Field_collected_data</a></span></span><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">2) For now, I have details of the main data provider per team. Could I also ask you to send a details of each person involved in data colelction and processing? In this case they can be listed as contirbutors during ICOS CP submission. Please send to me: name, e-mail and ORCID ID of all contributors.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><div><strong>Remote data:</strong></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This template is only for in-situ measurements.
