Figure 3. Precipitation inputs

Figure 3. Precipitation inputs have a seasonal signal only at AND, but monthly and daily cross-correlations between precipitation and streamflow indicate the existence of soil storage reservoirs of increasing size at CWT high-elevations, at CWT low elevations, and at AND, while a delayed storage reservoir in the snowpack is apparent at HBR. Aspects of relationships between precipitation and streamflow also reflect differences in water use amounts and timing among 50- to 70-year old deciduous forests at CWT and HBR, versus evergreen broadleaf forests at LUQ, versus 450- year old evergreen needleleaf forest at AND.
