Recall that Chris shared with us a spreadsheet of annual flow volumes from the Fryxell basin streams, and that the analyses suggested that variance had gone down in the 2003-2013 period (compared to 1990-2001).

However, we had several seasons in each period of poor or no flow estimates because of technical problems with gauges or controls (3 in the pre-flood period (~4%), 7 in the post-flood period (~7%)). Chris came up with some nice correlations to fill in these gaps (no relationship has an R2 < 0.70), and the result is an increase in variance of 48% in the post-flood period vs. the pre-flood period.
