Description

This function accepts a data frame that contains a column named "discharge" and a threshold value obtained using the peakdata and getPeakThresh functions and calculates TL3; Seasonal predictability of low flow. Divide years up into 2-month periods (that is, Oct-Nov, Dec-Jan, and so forth). Count the number of low flow events (flow events with flows ??? 5 year flood threshold) in each period over the entire flow record. TL3 is the maximum number of low flow events in any one period divided by the total number of low flow events (dimensionless-spatial).
