The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 2 new columns ({'{', '__index_level_0__'}) and 9 missing columns ({'VSWCMean_V507', 'VSWCMean_V506', 'VSWCMean_V502', 'startDateTime', 'VSWCMean_V508', 'VSWCMean_V505', 'VSWCMean_V501', 'VSWCMean_V503', 'VSWCMean_V504'}).

This happened while the csv dataset builder was generating data using

NEON CLBJ Data

TL;DR

This repo downloads and stores sensor data from the NSF NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network) network for the CLBJ site (Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland, TX). Four scripts pull three different kinds of NEON/NEON-adjacent data:

Script Source Data
scripts/download_neon_product.py NEON /data API (neonutilities.load_by_product) any single CSV-tabular sensor product
scripts/download_all_products.py same, looped all 11 cataloged sensor products at once
scripts/download_phenocam_gcc.py PhenoCam Network (phenocam.nau.edu) daily GCC greenness summaries, 2 CLBJ cameras
scripts/download_eddy_covariance.py NEON /data API (neonutilities.zips_by_product + stack_eddy) bundled eddy covariance / NEE flux data

Which product maps to which folder/table/interval is defined in metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml, not hardcoded in any script. A Python 3.12 virtualenv (.venv/) is already set up with dependencies installed (note: pandas is pinned to <3 β€” see Known issues). You need a free NEON API token (env var NEON_API_TOKEN) for anything going through NEON's own API (not needed for the PhenoCam script) β€” NEON has rejected anonymous /data requests since a June 2026 policy change.

Current data status: all 11 NEON sensor products and both PhenoCam cameras have been pulled for the last 5 years (2021-07 through 2026-07). Eddy covariance (DP4.00200.001) is cataloged and its script works (verified on a 1-month test pull), but the full 5-year pull was started and then cancelled partway through (11/48 available months downloaded, ~1.1GB) because the total size (6.2GB) was more than wanted at the time β€” raw/eddy_covariance/ is currently empty. See Data currently on hand for full details, including a site-wide 13-month data gap (2025-07 through 2026-07) found across every sensor product.

Detailed guide

1. Setup

A virtualenv already exists at .venv/ with everything installed. To use it:

cd ~/neon_CLBJ
source .venv/bin/activate

If you ever need to rebuild it from scratch:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

Dependencies (scripts/requirements.txt): neonutilities>=2.0.1, pyyaml>=6.0, pandas<3, requests>=2.0. The pandas<3 pin is required β€” see Known issues.

2. Getting a NEON API token (required for NEON API scripts)

Since a June 2026 NEON policy change, the /data endpoint rejects anonymous requests outright (403 Access Denied). Metadata endpoints like /products and /sites still work without a token, but any actual data pull through download_neon_product.py, download_all_products.py, or download_eddy_covariance.py needs one. download_phenocam_gcc.py does not need a token β€” it pulls from phenocam.nau.edu's own open archive, a separate system from NEON's API.

  1. Create a free account at https://data.neonscience.org/
  2. Generate an API token from your account page.
  3. Set it in your shell before running any NEON-API script:
export NEON_API_TOKEN=<your token>

(or pass --token <your token> directly to the script). Never commit a token to this repo β€” there is currently no .gitignore, so be careful if you ever git init this project.

3. Downloading data

Single product, last N years (e.g. 5 years of air temp):

python3 scripts/download_neon_product.py --site CLBJ --product air_temperature --years-back 5

Single product, explicit date range:

python3 scripts/download_neon_product.py --site CLBJ --product soil_moisture \
    --start 2022-01 --end 2023-12

Ad hoc product not yet in the catalog (all three overrides required):

python3 scripts/download_neon_product.py --site CLBJ --product DP1.20288.001 \
    --outdir ../raw/water_quality --file-match waq_instantaneous --interval-min 1

Add a catalog entry instead if you'll need an ad hoc product again.

All 11 NEON sensor products at once, each at its catalog-native interval, last 5 years:

python3 scripts/download_all_products.py --site CLBJ --years-back 5

Prints per-product/per-month progress, continues past any single product failing, and ends with a summary table of rows/coverage/missing-months per product.

PhenoCam daily GCC summaries (both CLBJ cameras, no token needed):

python3 scripts/download_phenocam_gcc.py --years-back 5

Eddy covariance / NEE flux data (large β€” see Known issues before running):

python3 scripts/download_eddy_covariance.py --site CLBJ --years-back 5

Output: one combined CSV per pull, written to the product's raw/ folder, generally named:

<SITE>_<product_shortname>_<start>_<end>.csv

e.g. CLBJ_air_temperature_2021-07_2026-07.csv (NEON sensor products, month granularity) or CLBJ_phenocam_understory_2021-07-22_2026-07-22.csv (PhenoCam, day granularity).

4. Product catalog (metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml)

Every entry maps an alias (or the raw product id) to a folder and enough detail to redownload it. Fields vary slightly by source:

Field Meaning Used by
id NEON product code (DP#.#####.###), or a PhenoCam Network site name for PhenoCam entries all
aliases short CLI names for the product all
folder raw/ subfolder the combined CSV is written to all
data_type human-readable description (NEON sensor entries) or format tag (csv, hdf5_eddy β€” PhenoCam/eddy entries) all
file_match NEON: which neonutilities-stacked table holds the readings. PhenoCam: URL filename template download_neon_product.py, download_phenocam_gcc.py
interval_min native averaging interval in minutes, passed to neonutilities as timeindex download_neon_product.py
source / base_url / roi / rois PhenoCam-specific: marks it as non-NEON-API, the archive base URL, and the region-of-interest code(s) download_phenocam_gcc.py
priority PhenoCam-specific (primary/secondary), documents relative relevance (informational)
notes anything non-obvious (deprecations, quirks, bugs found) all

To add a new product, add an entry to metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml with the relevant fields above before pulling it β€” don't hardcode product details into a script. See metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml's inline comments and per-entry notes for the full detail behind every quirk summarized below.

5. Data currently on hand

All figures below are from the actual pulls run in this repo; see metadata/README.md for the full per-product table.

11 NEON sensor products β€” all pulled 2021-07 through 2026-07 (basic package, catalog-native interval):

Product Rows Coverage end Missing months
air_temperature (new pull) 280,512 2025-06-30 13
air_temperature (older pull, pre-existing) 350,592 2026-06-30 1
soil_moisture 2,805,120 2025-06-30 13
soil_temperature 3,155,760 2025-06-30 13
relative_humidity 140,256 2025-06-30 13
barometric_pressure 70,128 2025-06-30 13
precipitation 35,064 2025-06-30 (60-min) 13
wind 280,512 2025-06-30 13

soil_heat_flux 210,384 2025-06-30 13
soil_co2 1,051,920 2025-06-30 13

⚠️ Two air_temperature files exist in raw/air_temperature/ β€” CLBJ_airtemp_2021-07_2026-07.csv (350,592 rows, coverage through 2026-06-30, only 1 month missing β€” this predates this session) and CLBJ_air_temperature_2021-07_2026-07.csv (280,512 rows, coverage through 2025-06-30, 13 months missing β€” from today's bulk re-pull). Same product, same requested range, different actual coverage: this means NEON's published air-temperature data for CLBJ between the two pull dates either had 12 months withdrawn, or the earlier file was pulled before whatever caused the current gap. Not resolved β€” decide which file to keep/trust before analysis, and see the gap note below.

2 PhenoCam cameras β€” daily GCC (green chromatic coordinate) summaries, last 5 years:

Camera Rows Coverage Gaps
understory (UN_1000) 1,827 2021-07-22 β†’ 2026-07-22 none β‰₯14 days
canopy (DB_1000+2000+3000 stitched) 1,812 2021-07-13 β†’ 2026-07-13 1 gap, 2024-01-09 β†’ 2024-01-23 (15 days β€” real ROI hand-off gap in the archive, not a download bug)

Eddy covariance (DP4.00200.001) β€” raw/eddy_covariance/ is empty. The script works (verified on a 1-month CLBJ test pull: 1,440 rows, 36 columns, stack_eddy output as expected), but the full 5-year run (estimated ~9.6GB, NEON's own size check said ~6.2GB for the 48 of 61 requested months it had non-provisional data for) was cancelled partway through β€” see Known issues.

6. Known issues and gotchas

  • Site-wide 13-month data gap (2025-07 through 2026-07). Every one of the 11 NEON sensor products pulled today is independently missing the exact same 13 months. This is not normal ~1-month publication lag β€” it points to CLBJ data publication stopping site-wide around mid-2025, or an ongoing tower outage. Worth checking NEON's site status/data availability calendar for CLBJ before treating any of this as a clean, continuous 5-year dataset. See the duplicate air_temperature file note above β€” the older pre-existing pull did not have this gap, meaning it emerged (or data was withdrawn) sometime after that earlier pull.
  • neonutilities 2.0.1 vs pandas 3.0 incompatibility. stack_eddy() (used only by download_eddy_covariance.py) calls a drop(columns=..., axis=1) pattern that pandas 3.0 rejects outright with ValueError: Cannot specify both 'axis' and 'index'/'columns'. No newer neonutilities release fixes this as of 2026-07-23. Fixed here by pinning pandas<3 in scripts/requirements.txt and downgrading the installed venv from 3.0.5 to 2.3.3 β€” the other scripts' pandas usage (read_csv/groupby/to_csv) is stable across that range.
  • Eddy covariance size. NEON's own docs cite 1GB per 2 site-months; a measured CLBJ test pull ran closer to ~130-150MB/month. Either way, 5 years at one site is multiple GB (6.2GB actual per NEON's size check for the 48 available months) β€” much larger than every other product here. download_eddy_covariance.py prints an estimate and available disk space before downloading anything and aborts if the estimate would exceed 90% of free space, but the full run was still cancelled by request partway through (~11/48 months, ~1.1GB, cleaned up from /tmp).
  • Eddy covariance QC flags. The stacked dp04 table has 11 separate final-QC columns (qfqm.flux<Var>.<stage>.qfFinl), not one flat qfFinl column. download_eddy_covariance.py filters only on qfqm.fluxCo2.nsae.qfFinl == 0 (the flag specific to Net Ecosystem Exchange) and leaves the other 10 untouched β€” apply further filtering yourself for QC'd H2O/temperature/momentum flux values. See metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml's DP4.00200.001 notes for the full reasoning.
  • soil_co2's real stacked table name is SCO2C_30_minute, not SCO2C_30min β€” caught by the "table not found" error path in download_one(), not guessed correctly on the first attempt.
  • wind (DP1.00001.001) returns speed and direction in the same stacked table (2DWSD_30min) β€” no separate product/table for each.
  • precipitation uses DP1.00044.001 (weighing gauge), not the deprecated DP1.00006.001 β€” see metadata/sensor_catalog.yaml notes. It only publishes at 60-minute/daily resolution, not 30-minute.
  • PhenoCam canopy camera (DP1.00033) has no single stable ROI. Its field-of-view was redefined twice, producing three sequential, non-overlapping series (DB_1000 2017β†’2017-12, DB_2000 2017-12β†’2024-01, DB_3000 2024-01β†’present). download_phenocam_gcc.py stitches all three chronologically; a single ROI alone would silently truncate the requested window.
  • PhenoCam ROI codes and coverage dates must be verified live, not assumed from the site code or older docs β€” the phenocam.nau.edu archive is actively updated and ROI codes are per-camera, not simply the NEON site code.

7. File naming conventions

NEON sensor product CSVs:

<SITE>_<product_shortname>_<start_YYYY-MM>_<end_YYYY-MM>.csv

e.g. CLBJ_air_temperature_2021-07_2026-07.csv.

PhenoCam CSVs (day granularity, not month):

<SITE>_<alias>_<start_YYYY-MM-DD>_<end_YYYY-MM-DD>.csv

e.g. CLBJ_phenocam_understory_2021-07-22_2026-07-22.csv.

Raw source files from NEON (before this script concatenates them) follow NEON's own convention:

NEON.DOM.SITE.DPL.PRNUM.REV.HOR.VER.TMI.NAME.yyyy-mm.PKGTYPE.GENTIME.csv

e.g. NEON.D11.CLBJ.DP1.00002.001.000.010.030.SAAT_30min.2021-07.basic.20230220T171815Z.csv

  • HOR / VER = horizontal/vertical sensor position codes
  • TMI = temporal (averaging) index, e.g. 030 = 30-minute
  • PKGTYPE = data package (basic vs expanded)
  • GENTIME = file generation timestamp

8. Important gotcha: tower heights (verticalPosition)

NEON does not repeat the sensor position in the CSV's own data columns β€” it's only encoded in the source file name (the VER field above). Since one month/product pull returns one file per tower height, the download script parses HOR/VER out of each file name and adds them as horizontalPosition / verticalPosition columns before concatenating. For CLBJ air temperature, verticalPosition takes values 010, 020, 030, 040 (four measurement heights, 010 = lowest, 040 = highest). Soil products (moisture, temperature, CO2) instead use horizontalPosition for the 5 soil sensor array locations and verticalPosition for depth (8 depths, 501- 508, not simply "5 sites/5 depths"). Always filter or group by horizontalPosition/verticalPosition before any time-series analysis β€” otherwise readings from different locations/heights/depths get mixed together.

9. scripts/_check_env.sh / _check_env.py

Internal one-off scripts used to validate the environment/token setup while building this project. _check_env.py is currently just a stub (sys.exit(1)). _check_env.sh expects NEON_API_TOKEN to already be set in your environment (it errors out if it isn't) β€” it does not set one itself.

10. Security note

A previous version of _check_env.sh had a live API token hardcoded in it. It has been removed from the script (never pushed to any remote), but since it sat in a plaintext file on disk, consider rotating that token at https://data.neonscience.org/ out of caution. .gitignore excludes .venv/, __pycache__/, and other local-only files β€” never commit a real token to this repo.
