Note: In the directory YY_MM_DD_LOC is a placeholder where:

• YY stands for the two-digit year of the experiment.
• MM stands for the two-digit month of the experiment.
• DD stands for the two-digit day of the experiment.
• LOC stands for the location of the experiment.

For example, a directory named 22_03_15_FieldA would represent an experiment conducted on March 15, 2022, at location 'FieldA'.
