A mapping table or map table is used by WMS to link values within a project. There are multiple ways this can be accomplished:

  • For GSSHA, WMS assign model parameter values to grid cells by linking parameter values to index maps.
  • For GIS, this is done by creating a lumped average based on the percentages of land use values or soil types within a basin.
