Hi Christian, I am working on gridwxcomp a package that creates bias creation ratios between station climate and gridMET data. I am setting the default names of input climate variables based on what PyWeatherQAQC outputs, also I am using the same format for a climate station metadata file from what PyWeatherQAQC uses or produces. In other words the default assumption is that users first use PyWeatherQAQC before running gridwxcomp, although it is not necessary.
Anyhow, I want to be clear on the formats and column names you use in your output files. Here is the header and hence variable names I am currently using that is assumed to be produced by PyWeatherQAQC in a corrected climate xlsx time series file (on the corrected sheet):
year
month
day
TAvg (C)
TMax (C)
TMin (C)
TDew (C)
Vapor Pres (kPa)
RHAvg (%)
RHMax (%)
RHMin (%)
Rs (w/m2)
Rs_TR (w/m2)
Rso (w/m2)
Windspeed (m/s)
Precip (mm)
Data_ETr (mm)
Data_ETo (mm)
Calc_ETr (mm)
Calc_ETo (mm)
ws_2m (m/s)
And here is what I have for columns in a station_data.csv metadata file which has info for all the corrected station time series files:
FID
OBJECTID
Id
State
Source
Status
Station
LATDECDEG
LONGDECDEG
Date
Station_ID
Elev_FT
Comments
Location
FileName
Irrigation
Website
Elev_m
Can you let me know what the normal format for these files will be? In particular the climate variable names in the time series files and the fields for lat, long, station, elevation, and file name in the metadata file. Those will be required inputs for gridwxcomp. Also, if you could, show an example row after a standard header for a metadata file, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks John.
