Stateclim unfill 08-25-OS.str Structure Location File -lists information on structures <br />(equivalent to the climate stations in this scenario), and <br />assigns a climate station to each structure. This file is <br />created by StateDMI. <br />CDSS.cch Crop Characteristic File -lists information on planting, <br />harvesting and root depth for the crop types used in the <br />analysis. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />CDSS.kbc Blaney-Criddle Crop Coefficient File -lists the Blaney- <br />Criddle crop coefficients for the crop types used in the <br />analysis. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />Stateclim_unfill_08-25-OS.cds Crop Patterns File -lists acreage, crop type and crop <br />percentages for the structures. This file is created by <br />StateDMI. <br />Stateclim_unfill_08-25-OS.tem Monthly Temperature File -time series of average <br />monthly temperature for the climate stations. This file is <br />created by TSTooI. <br />Stateclim_unfill_08-25-OS.prc Monthly Precipitation File -time series of total monthly <br />precipitation for the climate stations. This file is created <br />by TSTooI. <br />Stateclim unfill 08-25-OS.fd Frost Date File -time series of annual frost dates for the <br />climate stations. This file is created by TSTooI. <br />The crop characteristic file and crop coefficient file are a culmination of the crop types and <br />characteristics developed in the DSS efforts and found in published data. These files contain <br />TR-21 crop coefficients, high altitude crop coefficients for grass pasture above 6500 feet, and <br />locally calibrated coefficients developed for the South Platte and Rio Grande River Basins. <br />The crop patterns file assigns the high altitude calibrated coefficient for grass pasture to stations <br />located at elevations above 6500 feet, as recommended in SPDSS Task 59.1- Develop Locally <br />Calibrated Blaney-Criddle Crop Coefficients, in all areas of the State except for the Rio Grande <br />River Basin. All stations in the Rio Grande basin are assigned coefficients developed during the <br />Rio Grande DSS. Stations located at elevations below 6500 feet in the South Platte are assigned <br />locally calibrated coefficients for alfalfa. Stations located below 6500 feet in the Arkansas, <br />Colorado and Republican River basins are assigned TR-21 coefficients for alfalfa. The crop <br />coefficients can be changed easily through the StateCU program interface. <br />Recommendations <br />None. <br />Comments and Concerns <br />None. <br />Task 76_8_l.doc Page 8 of 9 <br />
