The last month or so has shown consistently high river stage and discharge which is typical of the snowmelt season. The hydrograph given above shows that stage has been mostly between 60cm and 80cm with three peaks, the largest of which is at over 110cm. Rain-on-snow has been an important factor in generating these peaks, and the classic pattern of snowmelt diurnal peaks created during fine weather are not easily seen. Some snow remained at the higher elevation young cedar lysimeter site, but melt-off was complete for the other lysimeter sites.
Stage = 66cm, Ta = 5C, Tw = 6C |
