The GSSHA Job Control Parameters dialog contains options and data for computational processes in a GSSHA simulation. The only required process, which is always included in every GSSHA simulation, is overland flow.

There are five buttons at the bottom of the dialog:

  • Help – Opens this page in a web browser.
  • Output Control... – Opens the GSSHA Output Control dialog.
  • Model Linkage... – Opens the GSSHA Model Linkage dialog.
  • OK – Saves all changes made and exits the GSSHA Job Control Parameters dialog.
  • Cancel – Discards all changes made and exits the GSSHA Job Control Parameters dialog.
GSSHA Job Control Parameters dialog

Computation Parameters

The Computation parameters section is required and has the following options:

  • Total time (min) – An integer giving the total duration of the simulation in minutes.
  • Time step (sec) – An integer giving the duration of each time step in the simulation in seconds. The time step must be evenly divisible into 60 seconds (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, or 60 seconds).

The total number of time steps is determined by dividing the total time by the time step. For example, for a simulation with a total time of 1440 minutes and with a time step of 20 seconds, there would be 4320 total computational time steps. Choosing an appropriate time step is critical to the success of the simulation. If the time step used is too large, excessive numerical averaging will take place, delaying simulation flows and possibly causing oscillating results. Too small of a time step causes the simulation to take an inordinate amount of time to run to completion.

Overland Flow

The Overland flow section has the following options:

  • Computation method – A drop-down with the following options:
    • "Explicit" – Completes most quickly, but is the least robust method.
    • "ADE" – Alternating Direction Explicit method.
    • "ADE-PC" – Alternating Direction Explicit Predictor-Corrector method. Completes most slowly, but is the most robust.
  • Interception – Turn on to specify the rainfall interception parameters using the Interception map table.
  • Initial depth – If turned on, requires a continuous map of initial surface water depths, which WMS does not currently write.
  • Retention depth – Turn on to specify the surface water retention depth using the Retention map table.
  • Area reduction – If turned on, requires a table listing areal reduction of retention depth, which WMS does not currently write.
  • Depth varying roughness – If turned on, allows defining of a depth-varying overland flow Roughness map table. If this option is turned on, a depth-varying overland flow Roughness exponent must also be defined.

Outlet Information

The Outlet information section has the following options:

  • Column – An integer automatically computed by WMS representing the total number of columns in each raster map. Not user editable.
  • Row – An integer automatically computed by WMS representing the total number of rows in each raster map. Not user editable.
  • Slope – The slope of the cell containing the watershed outlet. This must be a positive decimal number.

Evapotranspiration

The Evapotranspiration section has the following options:

  • No evaporation – Select to not calculate any evapotranspiration.
  • Deardorff method – Select to calculate evapotranspiration using the Deardorff formula.
  • Penman method – Select to calculate evapotranspiration using the Penman-Montieth formula.
    • Seasonal resist. – Turn on to calculate canopy stomatal resistance of the canopy to transpiration at noon (s/m).

Infiltration

The Infiltration section has the following options:

  • No infiltration – Select to not calculate any infiltration.
  • Green + Ampt with soil moisture redistribution
  • Richard's infiltration
