The WMS software development team is excited about the release of WMS 10.0! This page lists the exciting new features that have been added to WMS 10.0.
What's new in WMS 10.0
GSSHA Interface and Model Updates
Model Calibration Updates
The newest version of GSSHA supports PEST-style automated calibration methods. WMS 10.0 has an interface to these automated calibration methods in GSSHA. More information about automated calibration in GSSHA using WMS 10.0 is located here.
Depth Varying Overland Flow Roughness
The newest version of GSSHA has a mapping table that supports a depth-varying overland flow roughness exponent. This parameter is used in addition to the roughness mapping table. Without the addition of this table, a default exponent of 0.0 is used, which means the roughness does not change with overland flow depth.
Link/Node-Specific Overbank and Backwater Options
GSSHA previously had two options that could be defined globally. The first option, the overbank flow option (OVERBANK_FLOW), increases the level of connection between the overland flow and the channel in the 1D hydraulic model by allowing water to spill from the channel back onto the overland flow plane. If the second option, the overland backwater option (OVERLAND_BACKWATER), is turned on, flow from the overland flow model to the channel in the 1D hydraulic model is restricted if the elevation of the water in the channel exceeds the overland cell elevation. This option can now be defined at each of the arcs (links) in your GSSHA model in the GSSHA arc properties dialog. If this option is defined for one of the arcs, the global option is turned off.
Storm and Tile Drain Interface Tools
WMS 10.0 contains many new GSSHA storm and tile drain interface tools. A detailed description of all the tools available here.
New GSSHA Tutorial
Several of the GSSHA tutorials have been updated to reflect changes to GSSHA and its interface, especially the storm and tile drain tutorial and the calibration tutorial.
Also, a new tutorial has been added to the list of WMS tutorials under the Spatial modeling section. This tutorial describes how to convert an HMS model to a GSSHA model using simple, easy-to-follow steps from the WMS interface.
Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) 4.0 Support
DSS Grid Parameters
The capability of computing several gridded DSS parameters and exporting them to a DSS file for use in HMS has been added to the HMS ModClark interface. In addition, several types HMS grids can be computed and exported with your HMS model. A grid can be defined at any resolution and Green Ampt, SMA, and Curve Number parameters can be computed using land use and soil maps. In addition, snowmelt parameters, evapotranspiration parameters, infiltration parameters, and other hydrologic parameters can be interpolated to your grid from scattered data and then exported to your HMS ModClark model.
New HMS Tutorial
A new tutorial titled Using Online Spatial Data to Create an HEC-HMS Model describes how to use solely online data sources available from the WMS interface to collect all the data required and build an HMS model for any part of the United States.
National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) 6.0 Support
WMS 10.0 supports NSS version 6.0 with the updated database, which contains all the latest regression equations for the United States as of May 2014.
EPA-SWMM Updates
Sanitary Sewer Modeling Options
Sanitary sewer coverage Define Diurnal curve dialog, import curve names, and assign curves to nodes/manholes, export to SWMM Import infiltration and domestic flows from shapefiles and export to SWMM Import a peaking factor for the domestic flows and export to SWMM Import SWMM 5 model with sanitary sewer options into WMS and export to shapefile
SWMM 5.1 Support
Additional Web Services
FEMA Flood Maps
Add option to download FEMA flood maps using web services
Precipitation Web Services
NOAA Atlas 14
NCDC Station Information
