Tossup

The dynamics of these events may be predicted using the Muskingum–Cunge method. To locate regions associated with these events, HEC-RAS simulations may be used, which work by solving the 1D Saint-Venant (“san-vuh-NAWN”) equation. Flashy plots of cumecs (“KYOO-mecks”) against time that display high peaks, steep rising limbs, and short lag times suggest high probability of these events. On rating curves, these events occur when the bankfull stage is exceeded, (10[1])whose value (10[1])relative to the gage datum may be estimated using the Manning equation. (10[1])The most common application of the formula years-plus-one over rank is (10[1])for computing the recurrence interval of these (-5[1])events, which may be attenuated by the presence (10[1])of sedge meadows and riparian (10[1]-5[1])buffers. (10[6])“100-year” and “500-year” (10[3]-5[1])are types (10[2])of, for (-5[1])10 points, (10[1])what events whose “flash” type is induced (10[2])through sudden (10[1])heavy rain? ■END■ (10[3])
