title = "Uncertainties in discharges from stations where rating shifts are utilized",
abstract = "The state-discharge ratings and rating shifts in regard to the hydrodynamics of unsteady, non-uniform flow, were described. Shifts preclude analysis of the uncertainties in the rating because they change the statistical properties of the deviations between measured discharges and the rating. While shifts have been recognized as being the major source of error in discharge records, they also preclude analysis of rating uncertainties by changing the statistical properties of the deviations between measured discharges and the rating. The theoretically developed ratings that account for hydraulic factors in addition to the stage show promise to reduce the need for empirical rating shifts.",
