Example figures: residual flood 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

residual flood current velocity	residual flood current velocity (maximum)

residual flood current velocity (mean)	residual flood current velocity (minimum)

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