Fig. 3: Storage hysteresis plots.
From: Elastic deformation as a tool to investigate watershed storage connectivity
Discharge inferred storage (DIS) vs. GPS vertical displacement (GPSVD) plots for a Roaring Fork, b North Yuba, c Camas Creek, and d W. Fk. of the Russian River watersheds. Individual days for all years on record are plotted in light gray, and the median values for the period of record are plotted as opaque symbols, colored by month. Arrows indicate the direction of the loop, major times of connection and disconnection and potential processes affecting the watershed during these times. All discharge-inferred storage and GPSVD time series are smoothed with a 30 day average filter. Note that the x-axis is flipped so that slope values are positive when storage and streamflow are connected.
