In UKFE: UK Flood Estimation
QMEDLink R Documentation
QMED Linking equation
Description
Estimates the median annual maximum flow (QMED) from non-flood flows
Usage
QMEDLink(Q5dmf, Q10dmf, DPSBAR, BFI)
Arguments
Q5dmf
numeric. The daily mean flow that is exceeded 5 percent of the time
Q10dmf
numeric. The daily mean flow that is exceeded 10 percent of the time
DPSBAR
a catchment descriptor. The average drainage path slope of the catchment
BFI
the baseflow index of the gauged flow
Details
The QMED Linking equation estimates QMED as a function of the flow that is exceeded five percent of the time, the flow that is exceeded 10 percent of the time, the baseflow index, and the catchment desciptor; drainage path slope (DPSBAR). All of these can be found for sites on the National River Flow Archive (NRFA) website. The method is provided in the guidance note 'WINFAP 4 QMED Linking equation' (2016) by Wallingford HydroSolutions.
