Quick instructions for USACE... Today (10Feb2021) I am providing ready-to-use data sets. These are the result of my running the annual update process for the entire period from 1940-2021. In the future, you will need to do that part yourself. Instructions for that are found in the file annual_update_process_Feb2021.txt Provided files are: Instructions_2021Feb10.txt this file annual_update_process_Feb2021.txt instructions for annual update Processing_Notes.txt notes taken while I was doing my annual update cfg_histmet.txt You will need to edit this to match your directory names glshfs_???.tar.gz Compressed tarball of each lake directory. These have the entire GLSHFS-required contents and are ready for you to use for your operational process. glshfs_code.tar.gz latest version of the GLSHFS source code ghcnd_files.tar.gz scripts and code for processing ghcnd data into the met_*.csv files that are needed by GLSHFS isd_files.tar.gz scripts and code for processing isd data into the met_*.csv files that are needed by GLSHFS For your operational process, you will want to: 1) clear out your STN directory, which you should already be doing each time anyway. 2) Run the ghcnd process for 2020-2021 using the master list method (process_ghcnd_by_stn.py) then copy those files to your STN directory. 3) Run the isd process for 2020-2021 using the master list method (get_ish_all.py) then copy those files to your STN directory. 4) Run GLSHFS as before. The only change is that now instead of running "make_met", which is the equivalent to the get_ish_all.py process I am providing, you need to also do the ghcnd files.
