Rating curve.

Rating curve is in hydrology a graph of discharge versus stage for a given point on a stream, usually at gauging stations, where the stream discharge is measured across the stream channel with a flow meter [1]. Numerous measurements of stream discharge are made over a range of stream stages. The rating curve is usually plotted as stage on x-axis versus discharge on y-axis.
