Import for hydro estimator data from file.
File Format
The import expects the file to contain three columns, separated by spaces. One column containing the latitude (with column header lat), one column containing the longitude (column header lon) and the third column containing the value. The file name must start with the date and time following the format "yyMMdd.hhmm". The year is computed by adding 2000 to the two digits given in the file name. An example of a correctly formatted file is given below.
lon lat precip -57.0828 -28.0832 88.9917 -57.0409 -28.0832 96.4583 -56.9990 -28.0832 99.4583 -56.9571 -28.0832 86.1250 ...
Since the file name is "180325.1200.anything.can.follow.txt", this data would be imported at time step 25-03-2018 12:00.
Configuration
It is required to configure the grid for which the data is imported in the grids.xml. The import then matches each point in the file to the closest grid point and records the value for that point. The import can be activated using importType "UruguayHydroEstimator". An example of a moduleConfigFile containing the import is given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <timeSeriesImportRun xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/timeSeriesImportRun.xsd"> <import> <general> <importType>UruguayHydroEstimator</importType> <folder>$IMPORT_FOLDER$/HYDRO_ESTIMATOR</folder> </general> <timeSeriesSet> <moduleInstanceId>Import_Hydro_Estimator</moduleInstanceId> <valueType>grid</valueType> <parameterId>P.pro</parameterId> <locationId>hydroEstimator</locationId> <timeSeriesType>external historical</timeSeriesType> <timeStep unit="hour" multiplier="12"/> <readWriteMode>add originals</readWriteMode> </timeSeriesSet> </import> </timeSeriesImportRun>
For this example, there must be a grid configured in the grids.xml for locationId "hydroEstimator".
