Stationary water levels from the FLYS 3-database

Source: R/data.R
df.flys.Rd

This dataset contains the 30 stationary 1d water levels for the rivers Elbe and Rhine originally stored in the FLYS3-database.

For both rivers 30 stationary water levels have been computed by means of the 1d hydraulic model SOBEK. The water levels cover the full length of the free flowing river sections with a spatial resolution of 200 m river stretch along the official river stationing. They range from extremely low to extremely high flow conditions and are usually separated vertically by 0.2 - 0.6 m.

Usage 

df.flys

Format

A data.frame with 169980 rows and 4 variables:

river

name of the relevant water body (type character).

name

of the FLYS 3 water level (type character). See details for more information.

station

rivers stationing (type numeric).

w

water level (cm above gauge zero, type numeric).

Details

The nameing of the water levels is river-specific:

Elbe:

'0.5MNQ', 'MNQ', '0.5MQ', 'a', '0.75MQ', 'b', 'MQ', 'c', '2MQ', '3MQ', 'd', 'e', 'MHQ', 'HQ2', 'f', 'HQ5', 'g', 'h', 'HQ10', 'HQ15', 'HQ20', 'HQ25', 'HQ50', 'HQ75', 'HQ100', 'i', 'HQ150', 'HQ200', 'HQ300', 'HQ500'

Rhine:

'Ud=1', 'Ud=5', 'GlQ2012', 'Ud=50', 'Ud=80', 'Ud=100', 'Ud=120', 'Ud=183', 'MQ', 'Ud=240', 'Ud=270', 'Ud=310', 'Ud=340', 'Ud=356', 'Ud=360', 'MHQ', 'HQ2', 'HQ5', 'HQ5-10', 'HQ10', 'HQ10-20', '~HQ20', 'HQ20-50', 'HQ50', 'HQ50-100', 'HQ100', 'HQ100-200', 'HQ200', 'HQ200-ex', 'HQextr.'

Both lists of water levels are ordered from low to high water levels.
