Overview

The CheckPenmanMonteith command (for StateCU) checks the Penman-Monteith crop coefficient data for problems. The command should usually be used with a WriteCheckFile command at the end of a command file.

Command Editor

The following dialog is used to edit the command and illustrates the command syntax.

Command Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

CheckPenmanMonteith(Parameter="Value",...)

Command Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
ID	The name of the crop(s) to check. Use * to match a pattern.	None – must be specified.
IfNotFound	One of the following: Fail – generate a failure message if the identifier is not matched Ignore – ignore (don’t generate a message) if the identifier is not matched Warn – generate a warning message if the identifier is not matched	Warn

Examples

See the automated tests.

The following example command file illustrates how Penman-Monteith coefficients can be defined, checked, and written to a StateCU file:

StartLog(LogFile="Crops_KPM.StateDMI.log")
#
# StateDMI commands to create the Penman-Monteith crop coefficients file
#
# Step 1 - read data from HydroBase
#
# Read the general ASCE standardized coefficients
ReadPenmanMonteithFromHydroBase(PenmanMonteithMethod="PENMAN-MONTEITH_ALFALFA")
#
# Step 3 - write the file
#
SortPenmanMonteith()
WritePenmanMonteithToStateCU(OutputFile="rg2007.kpm")
#
# Check the results
#
CheckPenmanMonteith(ID="*")
WriteCheckFile(OutputFile="Crops_KPM.StateDMI.check.html")
