View source for Example: Maximum Fall Velocity in the Ems Estuary

[[de:Beispiel: Maximale Fallgeschwindigkeit in der Außenems]]
This figure shows the maximum fall velocity within the [[period of data analysis]] in the Ems [[Estuary]] calculated for the scenario of a [[Example:Period of Data Analysis|synthetic storm surge]].

The maximum fall velocity for the [[water surface]] is calculated from the variations of [[water level]] within a given time span (typically half an hour) and extrapolated to a one hour period. No significant variations can be observed. The velocities reach about 0.6 m/h. They are significantly smaller compared with the calculated  [[Example: Maximum Rise Velocity in the Ems Estuary|maximum rice velocities]].
