Analysis of Stage–Discharge Relationship Stability Based on Historical Ratings
Hydrology, 2020 We explored the stability of the rating curves at six streamflow gauging sites in the state of Iowa, USA, to examine temporal variability of their stage–discharge relationships. The analyzed sites have up to 10 years of rating and shift records.
