Example figures: residual ebb 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.

Examples

residual ebb current velocity	residual ebb current velocity (maximum)

residual ebb current velocity (mean)	residual ebb current velocity (minimum)

Remark: Vector is the result from vector addition of all ebb current velocities. Residual ebb current velocity is always less or equal than mean ebb current velocity.

Closely related quantities

• residual flood current velocity
• mean ebb current velocity (from magnitude)
