Stochastic characteristic of the maximum tide level in Qiantang River downstream
You Ai · Donghai Marine Science · 2003
In seawall construction and project design,the design maximum tide level is calculated based on the hypothesis that annual maximum high tide level is a stochastic variable which follows a certain distribution. In order to enhance the reliability of frequency analysis method for computing the design height, arithmetic serial correlation coefficient, rank order correlation coefficient test, rank and order correlation test, rank order sum test, runs test and turning points test are chosen to test the randomness of annual maximum tide level of 8 stations along Qiantang River downstream. Statistical testing methods proposed in this paper have practical meaning for analyzing hydrologic time series.
