Ice-cover determination: 5 yr recurrence flood: 1732 m3/sec (from Log Pearson III analysis)
Status Codes:  1 = Low flow, 2 = Normal flow, 3 = Flood, 4 = Major Flood 2401 m3/sec (from Gumbel Extreme Value analysis)
Comparison Station Information:  Hkamti (2260100)           Contributing Area:   sq mi 27420 sq km
(Data from this gaging station are used for the calibration to discharge, with an adjustment for different contributing areas)
Notes: Discharge calibration is based on comparision of monthly means, minima, and maxima from an ground comparision station in the region with adjustment for different contributing areas
Discharge and runoff, based on satellite remote sensing (NASA AMSR-E data)
(For U.S, sites, nearby ground station discharge may also be shown)
