@amyoung01 Changes look great as far as content, a few comments on how to structure in the QSG. Can you also apply your changes to DP1.20002.001 so all the phenocam products are consistent?

| RGB and IR images are captured using a Stardot NetCam on the top of all terrestrial towers to study above-canopy phenology.

| Images are captured using Stardot cameras on the top of all terrestrial towers to study above-canopy phenology. Every 15 minutes, at all terrestrial NEON towers, each camera captures back-to-back images separated by 30 seconds using a sliding infrared cut filter: an RGB+NIR image (red, green, blue, and near-infrared) and an RGB image (red, green, and blue). For external processing of derived phenology data products (e.g., gcc greenness, tranistion dates), archiving, and display, only every second image (i.e., images captured at 30‑minute intervals) is transmitted to the PhenoCam Network (https://phenocam.nau.edu/webcam). | |||

Really? We only keep half of the data?

@cklunch Thanks Claire! I will address your comments as soon as I can. Also, I will make updates to DP1.20002.001 as well.

@cklunch Thank you for the reminder, got busy with other tasks and just forgot about this. I've added it to my to do list to complete this week. |
