[1pt] PR: Change threshold data source priority to NRLDB over USGS.

[EmilyDeardorff]

Closes issue #1704

Changes the threshold data source priority from USGS to NRLDB. This way, if rating curves from both USGS and NRLDB are available for a site, the NRLDB one will be used.

Deployment Notes - Rating Curves will Change

This update will change some of the rating curves that are pulled using get_thresholds(), which means we will want to update any stored data that was downloaded with the previous code version.

The following scripts use get_thresholds():

• ‎data/usgs/preprocess_ahps_usgs.py‎
• ‎data/nws/preprocess_ahps_nws.py‎
• ‎data/usgs/get_usgs_rating_curves.py‎
• CatFIM data download scripts in data/wrds/ (not merged into dev yet)

Changes

• /tools/tools_shared_functions.py: Changes the threshold data source priority in get_thresholds() from USGS to NRLDB.

Deployment Plan (For FIM developers use)

• Does the change impact inputs, docker or python packages?

  • Yes
  • No (f no.. skip the rest of the Deployment Plan section)

• If you are not a FIM dev team member: Please let us know what you need and we can help with it.

• If you are a FIM Dev team member:

  • Please work with the DevOps team and do not just go ahead and do it without some co-ordination.

  • Copy where you can, assign where you can not, and it is your responsibility to ensure it is done. Please ensure it is completed before the PR is merged.

  • Has new or updated python packages, PipFile, Pipefile.lock or Dockerfile changes? DevOps can help or take care of it if you want. Just need to know if it is required.

    • Yes
    • No

  • Require new or adjusted data inputs? Does it have a way to version (folder or file dates)?

    • No
    • Yes
      • Require new pre-clip set or any other data reloads, such as DEMS, osm, etc. ie.. pre-requisite re-data upstream of your input changes.
        • Yes
        • No
      • Has the inputs been copied/exist in all five enviros:
        • FIM EFS
        • FIM S3
        • ESIP
        • Dev1
        • UCS2

• Please use caution in removing older version unless it is at least two versions ago. Confirm with DevOps if cleanup might be involved.

• If new or updated data sets, has the FIM code, including running fim_pipeline.sh, been updated and tested with the new/adjusted data? You can dev test against subsets if you like.

  • Yes

Notes to DevOps Team or others:

Please add any notes that are helpful for us to make sure it is all done correctly. Do not put actual server names or full true paths, just shortcut paths like 'efs..../inputs/, or 'dev1....inputs', etc.
