Read and write updated DHSVM forcing files & matching config inputs

[ChristinaB]

• Review Forking at https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/forking-workflow

• Make a fork using terminal commands

• Run code and debug until it prints a new file - start with adjustprecip_pyDHSVM version

• Push changes back to this repo: Example 1: Read one file, change one column, print one file

Purpose: Test sensitivity of a 3hr DHSVM model to various forcings. (Save 1hr for future model work in the Model Update Issue)

• Review synching https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing

• Make a shorter version starting October 1- Nov 31 2006 3hrly timesteps & 1 hrly datasets for each test

• add up 3hrly values to get daily total values, apply to first hour in the day, all other hours = zero. Forcing Test 1 (3 hr + 1 hr)

• Get hourly precip data from station in Skagit for the same time period, convert to 3hr time periods Forcing Test 2

• Get precip data from WRF NNRP hourly data (not daily) convert to 3hr time periods Forcing Test 3

See https://github.com/ChristinaB/Incubating-a-DREAM/blob/master/Sauk_DHSVM_modeldata/Input.sauk.base.2006flood

Line 174 -181 have one location for the lowest elevation in the Sauk.

I recommend make the following names consistent with your climate forcing tests (e.g. 1sthour):
climate forcing folder name or input file name (see line 181 e.g. DHSVMinput_Sauk57_raw_liv/sauk_base_station.data_48.34375_-121.34375 yours could be
sauk_1base_1sthour/sauk_base_station.data_48.34375_-121.34375

output forcing folder name (see line 5396 output/DHSVMout_sauk_1sthour) Go to the output folder. Type > mkdir DHSVMout_sauk_1sthour now the folder exists and when you run the model check for results there.
title of config file (e.g. sauk_1base_1sthour.config)
climate forcing file - this is fine for when you have one station. sauk_base_station.data_48.34375_-121.34375

to be coded up for the full grid, the name should be data_48.34375_-121.34375

Modelstate -
the config file looks in the folder in Line 5397

Initial State Directory = modelstate/

In the modelstate/ directory, it must have the date name in the file the same as the start date
on Line 90
Model Start = 10/01/2006-00 # Model start time (MM/DD/YYYY-HH)

If you change the start date, copy and rename the files in the modelstate directory. There can be a different version for each start date in your experiments.
