Hello,
I am a Project Assistant at IIT Kharagpur, working on a flood modelling project and trying to process the 0.25*0.25 degree (spatial resolution) gridded TRMM satellite data using HEC-GeoHMS tool in ArcMap 10.3 version to generate DSS file which would be used further for rainfall-runoff modelling but I am struggling to process it.
Could you please have a look at this problem and provide any solution? Any of your support, guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
