ReferenceRatingSet Class

ReferenceRatingSet

ReferenceRatingSet objects are named objects that refer to rating sets within a CWMS database. They can be retrieved by using CwmsDataStore objects.

Required Information

name: str (the rating specification identifier)

office: str (the CWMS office that owns the ratings)

method: str (must be "REFERENCE" to retrieve a ReferenceRatingSet object - otherwise a LocalRatingSet object is retrieved)

Notes

Rating sets are collections of ratings with the same RatingSpecification ID. A rating set may have one or more ratings, each with its own effective time, and can be thought of as an irregluar time series of ratings.

Ratings (and thus rating sets) may have one or more independent parameters and one dependent parameter. Reverse rating is possible only with ratings with a single independent parameter.
