Subbasin runoff estimates from the LBRM for StClair and Detroit River tributaries
The following rivers are associated with each subbasin.  Other rivers and
streams may also be associated with each subbasin.
STC01 = Black River, Mill Creek, Belle River
STC02 = ??
STC03 = Clinton River
STC04 = ??
STC05 = Ruscom River, Little River
STC06 = Thames River
STC07 = Sydenham River
ERI01 = Rouge River

StartDate =  1/ 1/1948
EndDate   = 11/18/2008
Runoff values are in cubic feet per second.  Missing data = -999.99

Using drainage area estimates from Great lakes Trib Loading Report (1978), Tim's STC01 flow
is divided into Black (54%), Pine (30%), and Belle (16%).

Modified the long-term mean flows for the seven tributaries, based on LBRM (Tim Hunter), and verified by
IJC report.

New flows:
rivflow=[12.12,6.73,3.59,34.31,17.51,67.90,13.58]       ;cms
corresponding to:
Black R, Pine R, Belle R, Sydenham R, Clinton R, Thames R, and Rouge R.
Note, the Black R is set to 54% of the LBRM Black, the Pine to 30%, and the Belle to 16%.  These estimates
are based on drainage areas.

Also today, Eric modified the fvcom-3d code to read in the anemometer height, AHEIGHT, from hec_run.dat.
AHEIGHT is used to adjust the winds and air temp to 10m.  For the LSCM4 staiton, AHEIGHT=14.4m

I've added a print statement to data_run.F to print the new variable AHEIGHT:
   WRITE(IPT,*)'!  # DELTT               :',DELTT
   WRITE(IPT,*)'!  # AHEIGHT             :',AHEIGHT

On DOY 288 hr 18-21, the FVCOM-3d model went unstable due to a fast moving squall line that went across Lake Huron. 
Observed water levels at Dunn Paper rose 0.6 m and currents near the Blue Water Bridge were measured at about 2.7 m/s. 
The FVCOM-3d model made it through the early part of this period but became unstable during the hr 18-21 period. Eric
determined that reducing the timestep from 4 sec to 2 sec would allow the model to get through this period.  I ran the
model using a 2-sec timestep for hr 18-21 and hr 21-24, DOY 288, then returned it to 4 sec.  The results look good.

I've saved these results here:
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs/events/2008288-squall/

I've
also added provisions to check the output file looking for signs of instability ("NaN", "Infinity"), and prevent further
runs until the situation is resolved.

The URLs for HECWFS have been changed.

http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs/ now displays the FVCOM-3D products.

http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs2d/ now displays the FVCOM-2D products.

http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/hecwfs3d/ is no longer active.

In addition, I modified the cron on Rip and the necessary scripts/IDL programs so that the FVCOM-3D Nowcast will run
every 3 hours.  The 3-hr simulation takes about 2 minutes 7 seconds to complete, and finishes at about 30 minutes past
0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21 GMT.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
10/6/2008

Changed simulation time from 6 hours to 3 hours.

hec_run.dat...
NSTEPS = 2700      ! 3 hrs x 900 per hr = 2700

modified these to end at 3 hours:
inputdr/hec_air.dat
inputdr/hec_ccdp.dat

Many changes to idl pro files to accommodate new 3 hr simulaiton time.

later...
Re-thinking the flows... We checked into the long-term mean flows from Dave Holtstag (USGS).  These are flows
at the mouth (estimated from gauge flows).  The Clinton flows we are using are at the gauge, not the mouth.  To
estimate the Clinton flow at the mouth, multiply the recorded daily flow by the 1.4 (this is the ratio of 
USGS mean annual flow at the mouth to the 40 year mean of Clinton flow at the gauge, from Eric).  Then for each of
the other 6 tribs, multiply their long-term mean flow at their mouth by the ratio of the daily Clinton flow to the 
long-term mean Clinton flow (both at the mouth).

earlier...
The water levels in Lake St. Clair have been low since the large rain event starting about DOY 258.
It seems that even though we use daily Clinton flows, and use scale factors to estimate the Thames and
Sydenham, we don't have a provision to estimate large, event-driven flows from other rivers.  And the scale 
factors for the Thames and Sydenhammay underestimate their flows.  So...I re-ran the FVCOM-3D for 4 cycles 
with the Clinton flows multiplied by 10.

Started working on converting/modifying FVCOM scripts and programs to run/use FVCOM-3D instead
of FVCOM-2D.

modified makefile to use MPI (7 processors)
also modify makefile so that /usr/local/bin/mpif90 (Eric installed) is used instead of /usr/bin/mpif90 (system).

I adjusted the 9014098 offset to -0.12 - better fit.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
9/4/2008
Starting on DOY 247.5 I set hecbc.pro to use Fort Gratiot (9014098) 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/damped, i.e. none of the peaks and 
detail shown at the other nearby gauges 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:

Therefore, the RMA2 output has been relegated to:
