<br />1. Add instrument height and solar radiation measurement height to the climate <br />stations file and associated set/fill commands. <br />2. Add commands to read, filUset, and write ASCE Penman data, similar to the <br />existing Blaney-Griddle crop coefficients file. <br />141.3 Update commands to handle new crop type naming conventions. Modeling <br />efforts have resulted in the generation of crop coefficients and characteristics for a <br />variety of consumptive use methods (e.g., original and modified Blaney-Griddle, <br />high-altitude coefficients). In order to minimize user errors, crop names in <br />StateCU data sets will follow the form ALFALFA . TR2 1, where the . TR21 <br />extension indicates the specific CU method. The following StateDMI <br />enhancements will be implemented to support this approach: <br />1. The writeBlaneyCriddleToStateCU(), <br />writeCropCharacteristicsToStateCU(),and <br />writeCropPatternTSToStateCU () commands will be updated to use <br />a 30-character width for crop names, to handle the longer names with the CU <br />method extension. A check will also be added to ensure that crop names DO <br />NOT include spaces. This is required because StateCU is being updated to <br />read the files free-format.. An optional Version parameter will be enabled, <br />allowing the older format to be written (this will allow files to be created that <br />can be compared with old files, which is useful when checking data). Note <br />that although the file formats are free-format, it is desirable that columns be <br />written with a specified width, to facilitate visual inspection. <br />2. The readBlaneyCriddleFromStateCU () , <br />readCropCharacteristicsFromState(),and <br />readCropPatternTSFromStateCU () commands will be updated to <br />handle the new format with longer crop names. Because the associated files <br />will be treated as free-format, the updated software will also be able to read <br />the older format files (assuming that spaces are present only between data <br />columns and not within data). <br />3. A sortCropCharacteristics () command will be added to sort crop <br />characteristics by crop name. This will result in StateCU files that are more <br />usable when read into the StateCU GUI. <br />141.4 Add features to support HydroBase database queries from the StateCU GUI. <br />The StateCU GUI is being updated to address usability issues, in particular to <br />simplify preparation of input data. The approach will utilize calls to StateDMI <br />and TSTooI in batch mode, using simple commands files, in order to query data <br />from HydroBase. In this approach the StateCU GUI does not need to know how <br />to access HydroBase directly, but relies on StateDMI and TSTooI. All the data <br />processing available in StateDMI and TSTooI could then be available to the <br />StateCU GUI, if needed. (Note that it is envisioned in a future SPDSS phase that <br />time series processing for diversion time series will be moved from StateDMI to <br />TSTool; however, for the. following activities with current software it is necessary <br />19 <br />
