Command Parameters

Parameter             Description Default          
ID
required		 A single climate station identifier to match or a pattern using wildcards (e.g., 20*). None – must be specified.
Latitude The climate station latitude to be assigned for all matching climate stations. If not specified, the original value will remain.
Elevation The climate station elevation to be assigned for all matching climate stations. If not specified, the original value will remain.
Region1 The climate station Region1 (typically county) to be assigned for all matching climate stations. If not specified, the original value will remain.
Region2 The climate station Region2 (typically the HUC basin) to be assigned for all matching climate stations. If not specified, the original value will remain.
Name The climate station name to be assigned for all matching climate stations. If not specified, the original value will remain.
HeightHumidityMeas The height of humidity and temperature measurements (feet), only used with daily analysis. If not specified, the original value will remain.
HeightWindMeas The height of wind measurements (feet), only used with daily analysis. If not specified, the original value will remain.
IfNotFound Used for error handling, one of the following:
  • Add – add the climate station if the ID is not matched and is not a wildcard
  • 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
 Warn

Examples

See the automated tests.

The following example command file illustrates how climate stations can be defined and written to a StateCU file:

ReadClimateStationsFromList(ListFile="climsta.lst",IDCol=1)
FillClimateStationsFromHydroBase(ID="*")
SetClimateStation(ID="3016",Region2="14080106",IfNotFound=Warn)
SetClimateStation(ID="1018",Region2="14040106",IfNotFound=Warn)
SetClimateStation(ID="1928",Elevation=6440,IfNotFound=Warn)
SetClimateStation(ID="0484",Region1="MOFFAT",IfNotFound=Add)
WriteClimateStationsToStateCU(OutputFile="COclim2006.cli")
