StateDMI / Command / FillCropPatternTSConstant

Overview

The FillCropPatternTSConstant command (for StateCU) fills crop pattern time series data for a CU Location, using a constant value. Only data for matching locations, years, and crop type are filled. A common use of this command is to ensure that there are no missing data values for years when an irrigated lands assessment has occurred. In this case it is assumed that if other data sources for the year of study have not identified crops (e.g., GIS and user-supplied values), then remaining missing values should be set to zero, indicating that no irrigation occurred. For example, if in one year a structure has irrigated acreage but in another year is has no acreage, the time series for the crop acreage will have a missing value in the second case. Using this command with a zero constant value will ensure that zero is used for the second year. Subsequent data filling by repeating values or interpolation will be impacted by the constant values.

Command Parameters

Parameter                                           Description Default                    
ID A single CU Location identifier to match or a pattern using wildcards (e.g., 20*). None – must be specified.
CropType A single crop type to match or a pattern using wildcards (e.g., *). None – must be specified.
Constant The constant value to be used to fill missing data. None – must be specified.
IncludeSurfaceWaterSupply Indicate whether locations with surface water supply should be processed (those other than groundwater-only locations). True
IncludeGroundwaterOnlySupply Indicate whether locations with only groundwater supply (collections where PartType=Parcel) should be processed. Typically this is specified as True. True
FillStart The first year to fill. If not specified, fill the full period.
FillEnd The last year to fill. If not specified, fill the full period.
IfNotFound Used for error handling, one of the following:
  • Fail – generate a failure message if the ID is not matched
  • Ignore – ignore (don’t add and don’t generate a message) if the ID is not matched
  • Warn – generate a warning message if the ID is not matched
