Example figures: underflow frequency of salinity limits

Explanations

Frequency [0.0,1.0] for which the salinity underflows a given salinity limit within the period of data analysis.

• left top: result for threshold 3.75 x 10^-3.
• right top: result for threshold 11.25 x 10^-3.
• left bottom: result threshold 18.75 x 10^-3.
• right bottom: result for threshold 26.25 x 10^-3.

Please notice that frequency cannot reach a value of 1.0 in temporarily dry areas (e.g. tidal flats).

Examples

salinity < 3.75 x 10-3	salinity < 11.25 x 10-3

salinity < 18.75 x 10-3	salinity < 26.25 x 10-3

Closely related quantities

• exceedance frequency of salinity limits
• duration of low salinity
