APPENDIX 8. PROGRAMMING STEPS TO DEFINE PRECIPITATION-RUNOFF MODELING SYSTEMPARAMETERS1. Move to basin or subbasin directory <strong>and</strong> find c36.*, c37.*, <strong>and</strong> c38.* files2. Identify <strong>the</strong> rain gage(s) to be used, <strong>and</strong> use <strong>the</strong> associated annual precipitation value (fromPRISM map) to determine <strong>the</strong> ratio’s UPCOR, DRCOR, <strong>and</strong> DSCOR. Do not use <strong>the</strong> precipitationadjustment prompted <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> first time through <strong>the</strong> program. This adjustment will be used laterwhen calibrating <strong>for</strong> water balance.3. Execute <strong>the</strong> program g1makerThis program takes user specified input <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> c36.*, c37.*, <strong>and</strong> c38.* files to makea *.g1 file <strong>for</strong> PRMS.4. Use <strong>the</strong> example file in Appendix E as a template <strong>for</strong> assembling your file <strong>for</strong> use in PRMS; use<strong>the</strong> PRMS manual by Leavesley (1983).Each HRU has to have it’s unique drainage area, precipitation <strong>and</strong> temperature station(s)<strong>and</strong> station elevations, solar radiation planes, etc. (refer to manual).The *.g1 file defines <strong>the</strong> HRU identified to <strong>the</strong> applicable time-series data in <strong>the</strong> WDMfile. Card groups 42-45 are used to designate HRU clusters that act as subbasin input.These card groups reflect a modification to <strong>the</strong> PRMS program not covered in <strong>the</strong> manualbut included with this appendix.5. All WDM file numbers must be identified in <strong>the</strong> WDM file be<strong>for</strong>e PRMS is run. ExecuteANNIE <strong>and</strong> select build. Identify all input <strong>and</strong> output files expected <strong>for</strong> use.An example PRMS file can be found in Appendix 5.PRMS Modification:Several minor changes have been made to input card groups 1 <strong>and</strong> 4. The major program change is<strong>the</strong> manner in which <strong>the</strong> time-series data is accessed. Time-series data is read from a WDM file.WDM files are created using ANNIE. PRMS outputs time-series data to PLTGEN files. These filesare documented in Johanson <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs (1981), <strong>and</strong> Lumb <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs (1989)142
