Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Based on measured runoff and sediment discharge rate of major control stations in the Dongting Lake basin and the Jingjiang River section, Yangtze River, from 1951 to 2011, this paper analyzes silting/scouring process responses of the Dongting Lake basin to different impoundment phases and different dispatching modes of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). Results are shown as follows: (1) Significant correlations were found between flow rate of the Zhicheng Station and flow rate of the Three (Four) Outlets of the Southern Jingjiang Rivers (r=0.859, p<0.0001), flow rate and sediment deliver rate of the Three (Four) Outlets (r=0.895, p<0.0001), indicating that flow rate and sediment deliver rate of the Three (Four) Outlets were strongly influenced by upstream Yangtze River flow rate. (2) Compared with period before operation of the TGR (1999-2002), sediment silting/scouring amount of the Dongting Lake basin during the TGR impoundment phases I, II and the TGR in comprehensive operation phase (2008.10-2011.12) dropped from +4796.4×10 t to +684.1×10 t, +449.8×10 t, -559.6×10 t, and sediment silting/scouring rate dropped from +70.25% to + 31.13%, +23.56%, -42.64% successively. The results present notably positive effects due to operation of the TGR. (3) During pre-discharge dispatch and water-storage dispatch period, the lake basin changed from silting to scouring mode. For flood-storage dispatch and water-supplement dispatch period, the Dongting Lake basin was mainly controlled by silting and scouring processes, respectively. (4) The calculated optimum thresholds of annual mean flow rate, sediment transport rate and sediment concentration of the Three Outlets were 970.81 m/s, 466.82 kg/s and 0.481 kg/m, respectively, while the Dongting Lake basin were under the state of neither silting nor scouring. The thresholds could provide practical references for operation regulation of the TGR.
