Example figures: exceedance frequency of tracer limits

Explanations

Frequency [0.0,1.0] for which the tracer exceeds a given tracer limit within the period of data analysis.
Please notice that frequency cannot reach a value of 1.0 in temporarily dry areas (e.g. tidal flats).

• top left: Source of the tracer is the North Sea.
• top right: Source of the tracer is the Ems.
• middle left: Source of the tracer is the Jümme.
• middle right: Source of the tracer is the Leda.
• bottom left: --- no picture ---
• bottom right: Source of the tracer is the Westerwoldsche Aa.
