Non-Linear Analysis of River System Dynamics Using Recurrence Quantification Analysis

Understanding the underlying processes and extracting detailed characteristics of rivers is critical has not yet been fully developed. The purpose this study was to examine performance non-linear time series methods on environmental data. Specifically, we performed an analysis water level measurements, extracted from sensors, located specified stations along Nestos River (Greece), with Recurrence Plots (RP) Quantification Analysis (RQA) methods. A more inspection sliding windows (epoqs) method applied Rate, Average Diagonal Line Trapping Time parameters, results showing phase transitions providing useful information about dynamics system. suggested seems be promising for detection dynamical that can characterize distinct reveals changes in state within whole series. will designing energy policy investments producers also helpful dam management assessment as well government policy.
