Rolling correlation coefficient (top panel of each pair) and ordinary least-squares linear slope estimate (bottom panel of each pair), for a Roaring Fork, b North Yuba, c Camas Creek, and d W. Fk. of the Russian River watersheds. Rolling coefficients were calculated for a 45 day window. The slope estimates include 5th and 95th percentile confidence intervals assuming a normal distribution of error variance. Green shaded areas mark highly connected periods, where GPSVD and discharge-inferred storage have a slope of −0.25, and an R2 > 0.7. A negative GPS displacement indicates increased storage.
