Overview

Imports Swiss Dadar Data time series data as ASCII files that are delivered by Meteo Swiss to FOEN in Switzerland. The files contain rainfall time series in mm computed for selected catcments. The files have a name that contains the delivery date ("BASIN_BAFU3_20071322100.txt"), this information is not used when importing the files.

Configuration (Example)

A complete import module configuration consists of an ID Mapping file and an Import Module Instance file. Examples of the two are provided below.

The Swiss Radar file has the following characteristics:

  • Line containing “BASIN_TIME” holds the time of the readings
  • Line containing “BASIN_MISSING” holds the missing value indicator used
  • Line containing “ACCUM_UNIT” holds the unit. Other header lines can be ignored.
  • Lines containing “BASIN_VALUE” contain a reading. This also contains the ID of the location

ModuleConfigFiles/

The following example of an Import Module Instance will import the time series as equidistant 1 hour interval series for time zone GMT.

IdMapFiles/

The ID mapping file will contain a mapping of the parameters and locations in the data file with the internal parameter and location ID’s of the Delft-FEWS application.
