The hydrograph above shows that the typical snowmelt pattern - daily fluctuations like a sine wave - become clear from about 14 April. This is because of rising temperatures and continuing fine weather.
Discharge measurement was undertaken with stage rising from 0.615m to 0.645m as daytime melt started to kick in around noon. We also collected data from a temperature sensor set in a cedar tree at 200m elevation. This will be compared to temperatures measured at the local climatological station near sea-level (Murakami Amedas).
