[GRASSLIST:5046] Re: mms - prms

Tom,
My understanding is Leavesley's group has been developing an interphase for
GRASS during the last years. I know mms runs without GRASS but I'd like to use
the GRASS interphase.

Check out from the following webpage:
http://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/SW_precip_runoff/mms/html/mms_paper.html
"GIS INTERFACE
A geographic information system (GIS) interface is being developed to provide
tools for the analysis and manipulation of spatial data in the pre-process,
model, and post- process components of MMS. Pre- and post-processing interfaces
are being developed as generic interfaces to support a variety of existing GIS
packages. To date, GIS tools have been developed and tested using Arc/Info and
the Geographical Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) (U.S. Army, 1991).
Functions developed include the ability to (1) delineate and characterize
watershed subbasin areas for distributed-parameter modeling applications, (2)
estimate selected model parameters for these subbasins using digital elevation
model (DEM) data and digital data bases that include information on soils,
vegetation, geology, and other pertinent physical features, (3) generate an MMS
input parameter file from these estimates, and (4) display and analyze the
spatial and temporal variation of selected model results."
