Latest measurement: 16-Nov-09 Mean annual runoff: 223 mm (2003-2007)
Hydrologic status: 2 Normal flow Total runoff this year: 202 mm
Latest M/C ratio: 1.04 Seven day total: 1 mm
Estimated current discharge: 177 m3/sec Percent of mean 7-day total: 41.2 % (today's value compared to mean for same period, 2003-2007)
Ice-cover determination: 5 yr recurrence flood: 1236 m3/sec (from Log Pearson III analysis)
Status Codes:  1 = Low flow, 2 = Normal flow, 3 = Flood, 4 = Major Flood 1227 m3/sec (from Gumbel Extreme Value analysis)
Comparison Station Information:  Mandini (1160880)           Contributing Area: 7280 sq mi 16866 sq km
(Data from this gaging station are used for the calibration to discharge, with an adjustment for different contributing areas)
Notes: Rating equation is based on monthly mean, maximum, and minimum M/C compared to gaging station discharge values.
