I modified all the .json files by adding the following line of code in my *.py files and added the modified files to the directory:

df_extracted['Timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df_extracted['Timestamp'], utc=True)

Are these acceptable now?

Seems not to work

Seems to be fixed now @laserlab

Taking this as a reviewer since I already discussed it in class.

[laserlab]

Looks good so far, but please select one data set that is useful for determining the seasonal trend for Mount Lua (meaning contiguous and equidistant data) and only keep the json as the data file.

[haiderabbas007]

I have selected the flask sampling (monthly) dataset. The new repository as directed is found here

@SchrodingersStruggle let’s merge this now so we have a data set

[laserlab]

Still issues, but we can fix those along the way. Let’s merge now

[SchrodingersStruggle]

Okay sounds good, merging.

Thanks, out of curiosity, what issues need to be fixed?
