Detailed Description
Violin plots showing annual springtime peak discharge discretized by annual maximum Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) for all years and all gages. Higher percentiles represent years with higher maximum SWE. Black dots represent the mean and crossbars represent the median. Spring peak discharge does not increase substantially with higher SWE, suggesting snowpack size may not be the primary determinant of springtime peak discharge.
