Modelled Stream Temperature for NRSA 1819 and 2000/2004

[mhweber]

Use existing code (L:\Priv\CORFiles\Geospatial_Library_Projects\NRSA\NRSA13_14_FinalTables\StreamTempCalibrationFiles) to generate modelled stream temperature for NRSA 1819 and WSA/WEMAP 2000/2004 NRSA data same as we've done and published in StreamCat for NRSA0809 and 1314.

the 08/09 && 13/14 survey years stream temperature modelling have not been updated after all of the surveys were remade and need to be included in this ticket.

TMEANSY_<year>.tif vs. PRISMtmean_<year>.tif raster conflict

making the data here I've found that there is a bit of a legacy issue, it seems that we have moved to making the full year tmean rasters in the PRISMtmean<year>.tif whereas the script for the StreamTemperatureModelling was written to use the TMEANSY_<year>.tif raster. I think these are essentially the same, but want to make sure.

[mhweber]

That should be the same - I prefer the naming convention TMEANSY_.tif

looks like we already have it published with PRISMtmean as table PRISM_0809, do you want me to update this or just follow the same convention for all the other years??

[mhweber]

Well, I prefer naming convention of TMEANSY_, but we can follow convention we've already published. We just need to be explicit in our published tables, metadata what the name means, but if easier can just stick with that.

looks like Ryan had added the 2 PRISMtmean_2008.tif and PRISMtmean_2009.tif into QAComplete, we could just use the same FinalTableName for these and then I can just flip the LandscapeLayer value?

we have these TMEAN_S_<year>.tif and TMEAN_W_<year>.tif, what is the S in TMEANSY_<year>.tif supposed to mean?

I was looking through the code thinking that this was a yearly raster but dating from May (05) of the previous year to April (04) of the current , like we do with PSUMPY, cause these would be a different product in this case, but as I read it it is just a reprojected yearly prism raster

The specific months for each of those variables are spelled out in the data dictionary - we need to make sure we align and adhere to the data dictionary - very key! The 'S' in TMEANSY stands for 'same' - i.e. 'same year'. Others in this category are 'PW' = 'previous winter', 'SS' = 'same summer' - but the formula and specific months are shown in the label column in the data dictionary.
