Notes on software, hardware, methods, and technical metadata.
DECODR importing of Nutrient data from QuAAtro files follow the decimal accuracy of the reports. Since nitrate can be detected but if below 0.05 reported as 0.0. The module was changed to store nitrate in the sta.csvs as 0.00 to improve pointing checking. A bug in the MDL routine was fixed, correcting the test for agreement with minimum detection limits and flagging the datacode accordingly.
New Nutrient Data Codes (NDC; column 32 in sta.csvs): "P", "S", "O", "T" will zero PO4, Sil, NO2, NO3 respectively. Other numeric datacodes (0, 4, 9) still apply. These datacodes only affect the data products such as IEH, Data Reports, & database csv.
Nutrient formatting in sta.csvs:
HoldNO2$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 21)), "0.000")
HoldNO3$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 25)), "0.0") >>>HoldNO3$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 25)), "0.00")
HoldPO4$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 22)), "0.00")
HoldSil$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 23)), "0.00")
HoldNH3$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 24)), "0.00")
HoldNP$(i, J) = Format(Val(HoldNutData$(i, J, 26)), "0.00")
