The main benefit of using distributed hydrometeorology (HMET) data in GSSHA is that the entire model does not have to use the same hourly data values throughout the entire domain. The temperature, cloud cover, direct radiation, global radiation, pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed can be spatially varied over the entire model domain. This is more realistic than assuming the entire domain has the same uniform hourly values for these data. Precipitation data can also be input into the GSSHA model using Arc/Info ASCII grids of rainfall, as shown in http://www.gsshawiki.com/gssha/Precipitation:Spatially_and_Temporally_Varied_Precipitation.
