(1) Single Series slot with high redundancy (no NaNs)

Example Slot: FaradData.FRTolerance

Explanation: This slot is used to specify the tolerance in the flow at the Farad Gage that is identified as meeting the Floriston Rate. For most days it is set to 20cfs but user/operator needs ability to relax the tolerance on a daily basis if conditions warrant. There aren’t very many exceptions to the standard 20cfs; maybe only a handful per year and usually for only a day or two at a time.

(2) Single Series Slot with mostly NaN

Example Slot: Tahoe Data.UserInputRelease

Explanation: This slot is used to specify an override release from Tahoe. The model will assign a release according logic specified in the ruleset. However, there are occasions when a different release needs to be set by the user for any of a wide-variety of reasons. The release-setting logic in the ruleset looks for a value in this slot, if there isn’t one (NaN) then its proceeds with the logic, if there is a value, it sets the release to this value. This slot has mostly NaN’s except when the operator has reason to override the standard release.

(3a) Multiple Series Slots all inter-related (Ag-series candidate?)

Example A: Reservoir Priority Tables

Example Slot: FRSourcePriorityTables:Prosser

Explanation: This example is a periodic slot, but as we discussed, we see it better as 3 (in this case) series slots, one for each account. These 3 slots function as a unit describing in which order water will be charged to accounts on Prosser for meeting the FR demand. All of the “Priority Tables” objects in that region of the model are examples like this. The priority order will change only a couple times per year and in many cases will not change at all. So it would be nice to just see the timesteps where there was a priority change between 2 or more of the accounts. There would never be any NaN’s in any of these slots.
