Ag Data Commons. https://doi.org/10.15482/USDA.ADC/1524288. ++++++ FILE LIST File Title: Data Dictionary File Name: F013_2014_Data_Dictionary.csv Description: A comma separated file is presented, representing a table of the primary raw data variable descriptions. ++++++ File Title: README file for The Bronson Files, Dataset 6, Field 13, 2014 File Name: README_The Bronson Files, Dataset 6, Field 13, 2014 Description: Operational details and further description of the measured data signals ++++++ File Title: Field Activities Log File Name: F013_2014_ActivitiesLog.csv Description: A comma separated file is presented, representing a table of experimental field activities and field samplings, with their respective dates. ++++++ File Title: F013, 2014 MegaTable File Name: F013_2014_MegaTable.xlsx Description: A unique full experiment season intermediate analysis Excel workbook is presented, containing an annotated variable list, and the primary investigation large data table linking all major experimental elements, such as the soil chemical and texture sampling, plus calculated and other values. The MegaTable file is a version of Dr. Bronson’s intermediate analysis table. Therein is a list of variable names with their descriptions, although a few variables have not been fully described. Additional soil fertility chemistry information and calculated values are also presented, and the file also serves as an example. ++++++ File Title: F013 2014, Field Plots Layout map image File Name: F013_2014_PlotsMap_Image.jpg Description: The treatment plots and harvest plots are presented as polygons in a map image, where scale and annotations provide an experiment field design context. ++++++ File Title: Intermediate analysis tables collection File Name: F013_2014_Inter files.zip Description: A collection of 14 table files in csv format is presented, one per data collection event. They contain intermediate processing tables of custom SAS generated program output. GPS receiver location coordinates and other information is combined with the calculated vegetation reflection index values. The original version of this file would have been created soon after the field measurements occurred, intended for immediate review during the experimentation. It serves here as an example of a process, and provides a partial analysis. These SAS output files represent intermediate pre-processed tables, where variables are ready to be mapped or statistically analyzed. There may be a few instances of serial communication numeric or other errors not replaced by the -9999 null term in the intermediate files. ++++++ File Title: The collection of raw active optical reflectance csv files from the HS data logger File Name: F013_2014_HS data.zip Description: Primary raw data - This HS data zipped folder, contains 15 raw active optical reflectance csv files representing 15 data collection events, as derived from the data recorder, and to include GPS information. Holland Scientific technology sensing using both the GeoScout and GeoScoutX recorders, is presented as data pre-processed, and given a file name, Field_Year_Month_Day_HS_data.csv. The single row header lined format comma separated table file contains the GPS information, and the six bands of active optical canopy reflectance measured by the two CropCircle sensors. Data is as close to raw numeric values acquired as possible, with quality only adjustments such as concatenation or null replacement. Note the change in variable names when the digital data logging hardware was changed and that sensor values were not affected. Sensor #2 - 530, 670, 550 Sensor #3 - 800, 730, 590 ++++++ File Title: The collection of raw environmental acquisition csv files from the CS CR3000 data logger File Name: F013_2014_CS data.zip Description: This CS data zipped folder, contains raw environmental and target recordings, to include an active air temperature, and weak ultrasonic displacement, as well as GPS information. A collection of 6 field acquisition events presented as 12 csv files of raw data. The Campbell Scientific technology encoding as recorded was pre-processed to a file name, Field_Year_Month_Day_CS_data.csv, or Field_Year_Month_Day_CS_GPS.csv. The single row header column format comma separated data table file contains GPS information, the ultrasonic displacement phenotyping measurements, plus ambient air temperature. The GPS file is a separate table of the GPS variables. The Data is as close to the raw numeric values acquired as possible, with quality only adjustments such as concatenation or null replacement. Technical note on the Ultrasonic sensors in this dataset: MaxBotix Model 7364 ++++++ File Title: Ultrasonic data signal report File Name: F013_2014_Cotton.pdf Description: To illustrate a marginal ultrasonic displacement sensor signal return, a further description of the common errors encountered is given in a pdf presentation file, including labeled time series charts of the weak CS MaxBotix data in this dataset. ++++++ File Title: Plot polygon corner point coordinates File Name: PlotCoordinates.zip Description: Two csv files are presented, one containing coordinate and classification information for the experimental treatment plots and the other for the smaller harvest plots within. ++++++ File Title: Manual height data File Name: F013_06_03_23_2014_Manual_Plant_Heights.xlsx Description: An Excel file is presented which includes manually derived height data for canopy and beds.
