Example figures: mean tide current velocity

Explanations

• left top: value of characteristic number for a single event.
• left bottom: mean value of the characteristic number within the period of data analysis.
• right top: maximum value of the characteristic number within the period of data analysis.
• right bottom: minimum value of the characteristic number within the period of data analysis.

Remark: The mean value is only computed at locations where all events have occurred within the period of data analysis.

Examples

mean tide current velocity	mean tide current velocity (maximum)
mean tide current velocity of one specific tide	maximum value of mean tide current velocity within the period of data analysis

mean tide current velocity (mean)	mean tide current velocity (minimum)
