An alternative measure of discharge effectiveness

Auteurs :
DOYLE, M.W.
SHIELDS, C.A.

Description :
Here the AA. develop an analytical expression for various discharge metrics, and apply this approach to a series of suspended sediment load data sets. They then develop a general expression for a newly proposed dicharge metric, the functional-equivalent discharge, Qfed. The AA. describe how Qfed varies broadly with sediment and hydrologic conditions.
