1. Likewise, values less than the critical depth correspond to supercritical flow depths. 2. For each value of unit discharge, there is an associated critical depth , yc. 3. The critical depth is the smallest energy value on the specific energy diagram. 4. This is a book that makes no claim to critical depth . 5. Whatever happens, Callen gives the Wildcats some critical depth . 6. In this plot, the depth where the minimum energy occurs is known as the critical depth . 7. Sverdrup s Critical Depth Hypothesis is limited to explaining what " initiates " a spring bloom. 8. Depth values on the E y curve greater than the critical depth correspond to subcritical flow depths. 9. This trigger occurs in the spring due to seasonal changes in the critical depth and mixed layer depth. 10. The reach can also be classified as steep if the critical depth is greater than the normal depth.
