If you do not see the subbasin boundaries then the Internet Map is drawing on top of the shapefiles. Open the Map Layers editor from the Maps menu and then move the Internet Map layer to the bottom.
Select the option to set the time window to Specific Time Window (Local) and enter a Start Date of 01Jan2017 and Time of 0600. Enter an End Date of 07Jan2017 and Time of 0600.
Click the Refresh button.
You will notice the time series icons changed from Quality Color Bars to Thumbnail plots.
Find the Time Series Icon for Coyote Lake (Lake Mendocino). Right-click on the icon and select Plot. Review what happened at the reservoir. (You will need to turn on the CDEC time-series icon layer to access the plot shown below.)
Next, you will display the precipitation that fell over the watershed in early January 2017 within the CAVI map window.
You can download gridded data from the Cumulus data server and visualize it when creating a new forecast. Since this example is before the implementation of Cumulus, an interpolation tool was used to create a grid by interpolating precipitation gage measurements. The precipitation gridset is saved to the precip.2017.01.dss file in the C:\CWMS_Class\dated\db\grid directory.
To add the precipitation grids to the map window, select Gridded Data from the Data Visualization menu and then select the Obs 1 Hour Precip – Interpolated dataset.
Animate the precipitation data using the fast-forward button in the left pane. This will display the incremental hourly precipitation for the watershed.
From the Data Visualization>Gridded Data menu, change the display to Cumulative Display and animate the grids again.
Hover your cursor over the map to see the cumulative values for individual grid cells.
