Use this hydrology calculation to summarize measured river discharge or its empirical distribution over a defined record and time basis.

Discharge series

Required list input.

Summarize a chronological river-discharge series and its linear trend. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Discharge summary

The resulting discharge summary returned as an object.

• River-flow results depend on rating curves, gauging quality, missing values, record length, seasonality, regulation, catchment change, and percentile convention. Historical percentiles are not guaranteed future flows or flood-frequency estimates.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain station metadata and period of record, inspect hydrographs and data quality flags, and use jurisdictional hydrologic methods for design decisions.

• River Flow Percentile and Ensemble Range

  Compare current river flow with historical percentiles and a forecast ensemble range.

• Formula Word Position Trend Across Corpus Analyzer

  Locate a formula word in each corpus line (case-insensitive first occurrence), average its relative position from 0 (line start) to 1 (line end), and label the trend initial (<1/3), medial (<2/3), or terminal.

  Compute the month-over-month percent trend in archival reference desk question counts with the absolute change and its direction.
