Elbe model-cell comparison

The selected model-cell discharge is compared with lower-tail percentile boundaries for the same calendar month, derived from that cell's stored GloFAS climatology. P10 and P20 determine the label; the median only positions the bar.

Formulabelow model P10 if Q < model P10; model P10-P20 if model P10 ≤ Q < model P20; at or above model P20 if Q ≥ model P20

Selected model-cell discharge: - m³/s

Data & provenanceGloFAS v4 via Open-Meteo · stored climatology for the selected model cell

LimitThe model value for this day is compared with this exact cell’s stored monthly GloFAS v4 climatology. Below P10, P10-P20, and at or above P20 are European model-comparison bands. P10 means the 10th percentile of that model record; it is not Q355, Q364, or a statutory minimum residual flow.

Ems · source to mouth

The Ems, headwaters on the left. Side rivers drop in from above with the flow they deliver, each arrow landing on the water where it joins; reservoirs and their latest operator readings sit on the way down.

Unbenchmarked

None of the 16 gauges on this stem carries an operator threshold or a stored seasonal reference, so flow is shown but not judged.

Main-stem gaugessource to outlet · select one for its sensor detail

Published station elevations come from the named provider. River power is gravitational power carried by the flow (ρ·g·Q·Δh), not metered generation - it is a floor rather than a total, because a reach whose downstream gauge reports no discharge contributes nothing. The navigability line is an indicative planning threshold, not an official fairway forecast. Side-river positions are approximated to the nearest main-stem gauge. A reservoir is drawn at its operator's own chainage where it stands on this river, and at the confluence where it stands on a side river of it - never at a kilometre borrowed from another river's scale.
