GSSHA is a two-dimensional finite difference rainfall/runoff model. A finite difference grid is used to establish the computational domain and parameters for surface runoff. The GSSHA model is fully coupled with hydraulic stream flow/routing models. Parameters for stream channels are defined using arcs and then mapped to the appropriate underlying grid cells.

A detailed online reference manual for GSSHA is found here:

Model Check

Dialog GSSHA Model Check.png

The GSSHA Model Check command runs through the input data for a GSSHA simulation and looks for obvious inconsistencies and problems with the model. The model checker will not identify values that are outside of plausible ranges, etc., only logical problems. For example, an index map has one or more cells whose ID is 0 (which is not allowed in GSSHA), or a specified process that has an ID with parameters whose values are 0.00 (which indicates an incomplete entry). An example of a problem that the model checker would not find is if a stream arc has a pit that pools water.

Run Simulation

The Run GSSHA command launches GSSHA in the WMS Model Wrapper. Select an existing GSSHA project file or specify the name and location of the GSSHA project file to be saved before running the simulation. The GSSHA Run Options include:

  • Suppress screen printing
  • Save files before running
  • Pause GSSHA window after running

The Suppress screen printing option suppresses the output of runtime data from GSSHA at each time step, but significantly reduces the overall run time required for a GSSHA simulation. This option also requires that the GSSHA input files be saved before running the simulation.

WMS will automatically read the GSSHA solution produced by the simulation when the Close button is clicked in the WMS Model Wrapper if the Read Solution on Exit option is toggled on.

Note: GSSHA currently supports file names (including path and file name) with lengths less than or equal to 128 characters. If GSSHA tutorial files are placed in a directory with a path that causes the combined path and file name to exceed 128 characters, then GSSHA will not run.
