4. Create other StateCU input files using StateDMI <br />StateCU input files required to run a climate station consumptive use scenario include the <br />following: <br />• StateCU Response File (*.rcu) -lists the names of input data files required to run the <br />model. This file is created by hand. <br />• Model Control File (*.ccu) -lists the model control parameters including the time period <br />of the scenario, consumptive use analysis method, effective precipitation method, soil <br />moisture parameters, and level of desired output. This file is created by hand. <br />• Climate Station Information File (*.cli) -lists climate station ID, latitude, elevation, <br />location information and station name. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />• Structure Location File (*.str) -lists information on structures (equivalent to the climate <br />stations in this scenario), and assigns a climate station to each structure. This file is <br />created by StateDMI. <br />• Crop Characteristic File (CDSS.cch) -lists information on planting, harvesting and root <br />depth for the crop types used in the analysis. Note that this file is common to all State <br />CDSS consumptive analysis scenarios. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />• Blaney-Griddle Crop Coefficient File (CDSS.kbc) -lists the Blaney-Griddle crop <br />coefficients for the crop types used in the analysis. Note that this file is common to all <br />State CDSS consumptive analysis scenarios. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />• Crop Patterns File (*.cds) -lists acreage, crop type and crop percentages for the <br />structures. This file is created by StateDMI. <br />• Monthly Temperature File (*.tem) -time series of average monthly temperature for the <br />climate stations. This file is created by TSTooI, as described in the previous step. <br />• Monthly Precipitation File (*.prc) -time series of total monthly precipitation for the <br />climate stations. This file is created by TSTooI, as described in the previous step. <br />• Frost Date File (*.fd) -time series of annual frost dates for the climate stations. This file <br />is created by TSTooI, as described in the previous step. <br />The files required to run the StateCU consumptive use analysis specific to each basin follow the <br />naming convention of a river basin designation following by a "clim" designation and the date <br />developed to indicate that the dataset encompasses a climate station scenario, not a structure <br />scenario. For this analysis, the Arkclim and Repclim datasets were created for the Arkansas and <br />Republican Basins, respectively. These two datasets join SPclim for the South Platte River <br />Basin, RGclim for the Rio Grande River Basin, and COclim, which includes climate stations on <br />Task 76 8 2.doc 16 of 17 <br />
