Example figures: exceedance frequency of suspended sediment limits

Explanations

Frequency [0.0,1.0] for which the suspended sediment exceeds a given suspended sediment limit within the period of data analysis.

• 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.

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

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

• underflow frequency of suspended sediment limits
• duration of high suspended sediment
