PURPOSE OF PROGRAM <br />The program computes the annual suspended sediment load corresponding to <br />observed daily water discharge measurements. The relation used in the computa- <br />tions is computed from a record of observed daily discharges and suspended sedi <br />ment loads. other options can be used, such as computing the weighted size <br />distribution of particles, computing the relation of instantaneous sediment <br />loads, and flows, and computation of frequency statistics for the annual loads" <br />B. PROGRAM SPECIP'ICATIONS <br />The program is written in FORrRAN II for the IBM 1620 computer with 40K memory. <br />Execution time requires about 10 minutes per year of observed discharges. <br />c. MET HODS <br />The relation for suspended sediment load is derived from regression analysis of <br />the logarithms of load and discharge. In addition to the discharge, the daily <br />relation depends on the sequence of daily discharges. The weighted size distri <br />but ion of sediment particles is computed by weighting each sampled size analysi <br />according to the load corresponding to the sample. <br />D.
