HECWFS = Huron to Erie Waterway Forecasting System
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Starting on DOY 247.5 I set hecbc.pro to use Fort Gratiot water levels minus 0.1 because the Dunn Paper
levels have been unreliable since DOY 237.  There was a big blow on DOY 237 and after that, the 
water levels at 9014096 (Dunn) appeared to be smoothed, i.e. none of the peaks shown at the gauges
above and below are showing up at Dunn Paper.  I emailed Andrea Hardy at NOS.

The FVCOM model is running on the GLFS cron.

Since this is the model we will be using, I've modified the HECWFS website to display the FVCOM output:
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs

Therefore, the RMA2 output has been relegated to:
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs/rma2

hecbc.pro creates 3 inputfiles:
hec_elj_obc.dat
hec_riv.dat
hec_wnd.dat

hotstart files:
hec_restart.dat
hec_restart_wd.dat

hec_elj_obc.dat includes wl from DUNN PAPER = UPPER = 9014096 and GIBRALTAR = LOWER = 9044020
;write elevation for inlet (relative to datum 176.784m and adjusted for inlet 'extension')
;write elevation for outlet (relative to datum 176.784m and adjusted to bar point)
; 2 nodes ar Dunn Paper location
; 38 nodes at Gibralter location
40 values x 60+1 (6 minute data for 6 hour period plus next)
DELTT in hec_run.dat controls this time interval
DELTT=360 sec = 6 minute
 !  TIDAL DATA BEGIN      :  0000:00:00:00
 !  TIDAL DATA END        :  0000:06:00:00


hec_wnd.dat includes u- and v-components (m/s) of the hourly wind data at each of 14230 nodes
time is in hours: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

hec_riv.dat includes daily averaged discharge (m3/sec) at the 7 river inputs.
time is in hours: 0, 9999999. 
discharge #5 = Clinton R.
discharge #6 = Thames R. = function of Clinton R. (monthly scale factor)
Uses current day's Clinton R. discharge if available, otherwise use previous day's, otherwise
use 2 days ago, otherwise abort.

fvcom_source_2D/ copied from /home/anderson/fvcom/fvcom_source_2D/

modified makefile to not use --fast (use -O3 instead):
         CPPFLAGS = $(DEF_FLAGS)
         CPP      = /usr/bin/cpp
#         FC       = lfc --fast
         FC       = lfc -O3
         DEBFLGS  = 
         OPT      = 


to comile:
make clean
make
-->creates executable: fvcom

modified the following input files:
stclair2d/hec_air.dat
stclair2d/hec_ccdp.dat
 to have 9 records 0,1,...,7,8.  These files are read but not used.  Need at least one record per hour +1.

to run:
fvcom hec
