Example figures: cumulative frequency distribution of current velocity

Explanations

Cumulative frequency [0.0,1.0] for which the magnitude of current velocity lies within given intervals.

• left top: result for interval 0.0 m/s to 0.2 m/s.
• right top: result for interval 0.0 m/s to 0.6 m/s.
• left bottom: result for interval 0.0 m/s to 1.0 m/s.
• right bottom: result for interval 0.0 m/s to 1.4 m/s.

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

Examples

current velocity: 0.0 m/s to 0.2 m/s	current velocity: 0.0 m/s to 0.6 m/s

current velocity: 0.0 m/s to 1.0 m/s	current velocity: 0.0 m/s to 1.4 m/s
