Examples

if (FALSE) {
# obtain the data variable availability for all sites & variables
data_sum <- amf_summarize_data()

# obtain the data variable availability for selected sites, all variables
data_sum <- amf_summarize_data(site_set = c("US-CRT","US-WPT"))

# obtain the data variable availability for selected sites & variables
data_sum <- amf_summarize_data(site_set = c("US-CRT","US-WPT"),
                               var_set = c("FC", "LE", "H"))
