Generating DSM2 Hydro boundary conditions from the DCR 2017 CALSIM II output

run DCR 2017 with CWF script.zip

I tried to generate the DSM2 Hydro boundary conditions from the DCR 2017 CALSIM II output (with a 2020 development level) .  But for this CALSIM II output, we don’t have a corresponding script that can be used to generate the boundary conditions. The closest script available is from CALWATERFix for the previous version of CALSIM II output (with a 2005 development level).  So I used this script.  After some basic edits (e.g., change directory, file name, etc.),  the script ran and generated the boundary conditions.  However, because the script and the CALSIM II output are not paired, using the old script for the new output could introduce errors.  I compared the boundary conditions generated from DCR 2017  with those for CALWATERFix (generated with the same script but from an older version of CALSIM output).  The patterns are match but there are noticeable differences at some spots (e.g., Aug 24 1994 or July 19 2001).  I haven't figured out what exactly caused the differences, but could be the different assumptions used in the CALSIM II studies.  

I have a read me file inside of the zip file to provide the instruction about how to run the script.  The zip file is too big to upload so I left two files out.  You can download the left out files here:
