back to River width computation

  • Model 1 : width ~ catchment_area
  • Model 2 : log(width) ~log(catchment_area)
  • Model 3 : log(width) ~ log(catchment_area) + uga
  • Model 4 : log(width)~ a*log(catchment area) + b*log(shreve index) +c

Other model :

  • Elvira model : model 4 with river >2nd order

Log10(Wet width + 1) = 0.22734+ 0.20045 (log10 catchment area) + 0.25939 (log 10 Shreve index)

  • Thornton model : W = 4.98 CA0.47
  • Data extraction :
    • year > 1987 (RHP)
    • Period : april-october
    • complete sampling method
    • shreve >1
