Base flow 3.

Calculation Details

Divide the whole record into 5-day blocks. Calculate the minimum daily flow values in each block. For each block, base flow is taken as this minimum value if 90% of this minimum is less than the minimum for the blocks on either side of the block. Otherwise, base flow is linearly interpolated from the blocks that do meet the condition previously mentioned. Calculate the sum of five times these base flow values, and the sum of all daily flows. Divide the former by the latter.
