🛠 Summary of changes

✨Include a reference to the issue # in this section
Summarize the changes you are making to the repo. Are you fixing a bug? Adding a dataset? Describe what you did in a few sentences or bullet points:

• The convert script to get netcdf files from daily Ameriflux csv files was from several years ago. This is an updated version of that.

🧪 NetCDF Validation

✨Add an x between the brackets to indicate basic testing was completed

• Created a new working directory (e.g., ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/)
• [ x] Created a standalone python script that downloads and processes the new dataset (e.g., ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/convert.py)
  • [ x] The python script outputs a netcdf (e.g., ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/burntFractionAll_mon_GFED5_199701-202012.nc)
• Ran python3 validate_dataset.py ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/burntFractionAll_mon_GFED5_199701-202012.nc in command line and resolved any errors
• [ x] Visually inspected the outputted netCDF for obvious issues
  • [ x] ncdump -h ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/burntFractionAll_mon_GFED5_199701-202012.nc to visually inspect the netCDF header information
  • ncview ILAMB-DATA/GFED5/burntFractionAll_mon_GFED5_199701-202012.nc to visually inspect the map (where applicable)

🏎 (Optional) Quality Checklist

✨Add an x between the brackets to indicate script quality adherence

• [ x] There are no unused libraries imported into the code
• [ x] There are no erroneous console logs, debuggers, or leftover testing code
• There are no hard-coded paths to your local machine in the script
  *There are ways the script reads the file name that are semi-hardcoded (e.g. to get Site information from filename)
• [ x] Useful headings describe sections of your code
• [ x] Variable names are generalizable and easy to read
