My Notes on GetRealtime:

GENERAL:
1) Turn off Writing Unit Values if not needed for long simulations.  GetGraphs can show the daily maximums with hourly values.

2) Check 'Overwrite Source 5' to speed up database writes if not needed.


RUNOFF:
1) With Curve Numbers, try setting CNdry just 1 less than starting CN or even equal to prevent draining of the CN at startup.  This implies that you will be starting in dry conditions.

2) For quick runoff setup reference see:

RATIOS:
1) Turn on Write Unit Values.  Used for adjusting radar.

2) Wundergage rainfall needs to only be updated once an hour like at 00:10 or 20:10.  The adjusted radar uses the last hours ratio for the current hour's unit values.  If retrieving radar with 'Scheduled Batch' every half hour then start around hh:10 or hh:40.

3) Don't use Inversion Suppression when adjusting radar rainfall, use the Ratio's Gage Minimum value of exactly 0.01 near radars and radar will be zeroed when Gage is zero.

4) The last computed ratio will be used as default until the next computed  ratio replaces it up to 24 hours.

5) Wunderground airport (KABC) rainfall records are now ok for ratioing .  Airports reset their rainfall at hh:56 and GetRealtime now uses that  as the end of the hour.   But airports genearlly only report 2 or 3 times max per hour.
