Fig. 5: Relationship between β and fi for suspended load (SSL) and bedload (BL).

Relationship between β and fi for SSL and BL for 2020 (a) and 2021 (b). Control points denote model runs with realistic hydraulic conditions and not those selected based on model performance. Selected points are a subset of control points with the top-performing model parameters. Notice that both SSL and BL develop positive correlation in the control points based upon the culling procedure (see Methods). However, a negative relationship emerges in BL for optimizing for sediment transport, pointing to a range of specific hydraulic conditions.
