Predictive Contributions of Snowmelt and Rainfall to Streamflow Variations in the Western United States

Figure 6

Distributions of the correlation coefficients between the snow metrics and peak streamflow in each watershed (1981–2016). Panels (a)–(h) represent different snow metrics: (a) the initial snow accumulation day, (b) snow-free day, (c) peak SWE value, (d) peak SWE day, (e) length of snow accumulation season, (f) length of snow melting season, (g) snow accumulation slope, and (h) snowmelt slope. Circles represent stations that did not pass the 95% significance test.
