EmpiricalBFI: Calculates Base Flow Index from time series data

In cvitolo/curvenumber: An implementation of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Curve Number method

Calculates Base Flow Index from time series data

Description

Calculates Base Flow Index from time series data

Usage

EmpiricalBFI(Qflow, timestep = 1/24)

Arguments

Qflow	time series of streamflow discharge
timestep	time step for the measured data (equally spaced)

Details

Calculates Base Flow Index for a given discharge time series as described in Report # 108, Low flow estimation in the United Kingdom, by A. Gustard, A. Bullock, and J.M. Dickson, 1992

Value

Curve Number, in the range [0,100]
