Generalization of the power-law rating curve using hydrodynamic theory and Bayesian hierarchical modeling

Birgir Hrafnkelsson, Helgi Sigurdarson, Sölvi Rögnvaldsson +3

The power-law rating curve has been used extensively in hydraulic practice and hydrology. It is given by $Q(h)=a(h-c{)}^b$, where $Q$ is discharge, $h$ is water elevation, $a$, $b$ a…
