wdmtoolbox use and troubleshooting

[rburghol]

Use Examples

Add a new DSN

DSNs must exist before trying to put data in them. So we use wdmtoolbox (a la: sudo pip install wdmtoolbox, see more at https://pypi.org/project/wdmtoolbox/ and https://timcera.bitbucket.io/wdmtoolbox/docs/index.html)

• Add a new DSN to hold runoff only (instead of runoff + upstream, DSN 11)
  • DSN 10
  • add with wdmtoolbox: wdmtoolbox createnewdsn --tstype WATR --tcode 3 river.wdm 10
  • this works well, except that wdm_insert_one cuts the hours from 1 to 24 which causes maybe a 1 hour lag? Either way, wdm2text will NOT export the final year since it is not deemed complete 12/31/2021 23:00:00

Troubleshooting / Debugging

• This command: wdmtoolbox csvtowdm --input_ts=./N51165.PRC prad_N51165.wdm 2000 has error:
  • TypeError: <U24 cannot be converted to a FloatingDtype
• Daylight savings time, consecutive entries are non-contiguous, i.e., this fails (lacks hour 3 on the 29th):

...
1984-04-29 01:00:00 UTC,0.00743772
1984-04-29 02:00:00 UTC,0.0109102
1984-04-29 04:00:00 UTC,0

• But this does not (has manually added hour 3 on the 29th):
