Introduction
LILA is an export format for FOEN. This is a simple ASCII format that is used by LARSIM and some German lander.
Each time series is exported to a different file with the format: stationid_parameterid.timestamp.lila
The following headers are available in the LILA export format:
Sprache; DE; (always DE)
Station; Diepoldsau; (map with locationId)
Gewaesser; Rhein; (map to externalQualifier)
Datenart; Q; (map to externalparameterId)
Datenursprung; vhs; (vhs for external and simulated forecast series, mes for external historical, sim for simulated historical)
Dimension; cbm/s; (map to unit)
Zeitintervall; 1:00; (following the hh:mm timestep pattern)
Zeitzone; UTC+1; (configured in export)
Vorhersagezeitpunkt; 06.04.2016 09:00; (external forecast time for external forecast series, T0 for simulated series and T0 for external historical)
Kommentar; Modell=EZMWF; (meta data comment in export config, for example: <metadata><comment>Model=CMWF</comment></metadata>)
06.04.2016 09:00; 272.0; (date and time ; value)
06.04.2016 10:00; 256.0;
LILA Export Configuration
The configuration of the LILA export module is shown in the following example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <timeSeriesExportRun xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/timeSeriesExportRun.xsd"> <export> <general> <exportType>LILA</exportType> <folder>$EXPORT_FOLDER$/LILA</folder> <exportFileName> <!-- configured name is not used. The file name is determined by the LILA exporter --> <name>dummy</name> </exportFileName> </general> <metadata> <comment>MODEL TEST COMMENT</comment> </metadata> <timeSeriesSet> <moduleInstanceId>ImportLILA</moduleInstanceId> <valueType>scalar</valueType> <parameterId>Q</parameterId> <locationId>73</locationId> <timeSeriesType>external historical</timeSeriesType> <timeStep unit="minute" multiplier="15"/> <readWriteMode>read complete forecast</readWriteMode> <synchLevel>1</synchLevel> <ensembleId>main</ensembleId> <ensembleMemberIndex>0</ensembleMemberIndex> </timeSeriesSet> </export> </timeSeriesExportRun>
For instance if your export configuration is in the file Config\ModuleConfigFiles\export\ExportLILA.xml,
The following code shows a sample output file:
Sprache; DE; Station; 73; Gewaesser; Rhein; Datenart; Q; Datenursprung; vhs; Dimension; m3/s; Zeitintervall; 00:15; Zeitzone; GMT; Vorhersagezeitpunkt; 23.01.2016 15:00; Kommentar; MODEL TEST COMMENT; 23.01.2016 15:00; 9.28; 23.01.2016 15:15; 9.28; 23.01.2016 15:30; 9.28; 23.01.2016 15:45; 9.14; 23.01.2016 16:00; 9.52; ...
