Model Construction:Units

GSSHA is entirely formulated in metric units. Therefore, the grid dimensions and elevations must be in meters. WMS can be used to convert grid dimensions and/or elevations from feet to meters. GSSHA outputs all results in metric units except for the flow values in the outlet hydrograph file (.otl file), which can be output in either metric (m^3/s) or English (cfs) units.
