Flux Levels Refined

Currently the eddy covariance flux result outputs are re-ordered in a new folder structure using Flux Levels. Today, the Flux Levels were further refined to be more in line with definitions used in FLUXNET. In addition to Level-0, Level-1 and Level-2, there is also Level-3 (refined) and Level-4 (new).

VPC Major Upgrade

The VPC (virtual PC) now runs with 8 virtual processors (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @2.2GHz) and 32GB RAM. This will be helpful in running automatic fux calculations, QuickView plot generation and data conversions in parallel. For more info about the VPC, please see here.
