Example figures: duration of high suspended sediment

Explanations

Period of time during which the local suspended sediment lies above a given suspended sediment limit.

• left top: result for threshold 0.0208 kg/m³.
• right top: result for threshold 0.0658 kg/m³.
• left bottom: result threshold 0.2080 kg/m³.
• right bottom: result for threshold 0.6580 kg/m³.

Examples

suspended sediment > 0.0208 kg/m3	suspended sediment > 0.0658 kg/m3

suspended sediment > 0.2080 kg/m3	suspended sediment > 0.6580 kg/m3

Closely related quantities
