Plot of daily values of PRCP (x-axis) vs NAM (y-axis)
Note: the x-axis is logarithmic

Note: to increase scatter, +/- 0.005" is added to obs
  • Large dots - days when both PRCP and NAM were "extreme"
  • Small dots - days when PRCP, NAM, or both were not "extreme"
  • Red horizontal line - threshold for extreme high NAM
  • Blue horizontal line - threshold for extreme low NAM
  • Grey thick vertical line - mean daily PRCP for all days, including those with zero amount
  • Black thin vertical line - threshold for extreme PRCP
  • Yellow vertical-to-curving diagonal line - least squares best-fit regression line for PRCP vs NAM, calculated using all days with observations, including those with zeros amount
