sütdiagram
Sütdiagram, also known as a Sutcliffe diagram, is a graphical representation used in the field of hydrology to analyze the relationship between precipitation and evapotranspiration. It was developed by John E. Sutcliffe in the 1970s as a tool to understand the water balance of a catchment area. The diagram plots the cumulative precipitation against the cumulative evapotranspiration over a given period, typically a year.
The sütdiagram consists of two main components: the precipitation line and the evapotranspiration line. The precipitation
The slope of the precipitation line reflects the variability of rainfall, with a steeper slope indicating more
By analyzing the sütdiagram, hydrologists can gain insights into the water balance of a catchment area, including
