This module reads regular time series data & meta-data from a HEC-DSS file into Python objects.
| Abbreviation | Name |
|---|---|
| DSS | Data Storage System |
| DWR | State of California Department of Water Resources |
| HEC | U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center |
| USBR | U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation |
This module relies on the functions compiled in bin/heclib_x64.dll, which was
obtained from HEC.
James Gilbert is the original author of this module and developed a majority
of the code while with USBR. His work is version controlled under the branch
JMG.
This tool is maintained by USBR in Sacramento, CA. Contact Jim Shannon at jshannon@usbr.gov.
Future development tasks will focus on the following priorities:
1. Remove dependency on numpy;
2. Expand documentation;
3. Address documentation wishlists in dss3_functions_reference.py.
pyhecdess is a well documented and stable library to query data from DSS into
a pandas DataFrame. DWR maintains the library here
with online documentation hosted here.
