FluxEngine version 3.0
Code has been completely refactored to increase modularity, flexibility and maintainability. All software and calculations have been verified using reference datasets.
New features include:
- Automatic installation and verification scripts
- Better documentation (including PDF manual)
- Interactive Jupyter tutorials!
- Example configuration files
- Runs on desktop or laptop (no remote server required)
- Flexible input data specification
- Customisable and extendable gas transfer velocity parameterisations, new parameterisations added
- Pre-processing functions for input data (e.g. unit conversion, resampling)
- Option to specify gas data as concentrations (as well as partial pressure or fugacity)
- Import as a Python module and drive with custom scripts
- Many new features to support calculating gas fluxes from in situ data
- New stand-alone tools for converting from netCDF to text, appending FluxEngine output to text data files and more.
- Support for other gases: N2O and CH4
- Reanalysis of in situ data to a consistent temperature and depth using Earth observation data
- Various minor bug fixes
