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

Note: to increase scatter, +/- 0.05" is added to obs
  • Large dots - days when both SNOW and NAM were "extreme"
  • Small dots - days when SNOW, 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 SNOW for all days, including those with zero amount
  • Black thin vertical line - threshold for extreme SNOW
  • Yellow vertical-to-curving diagonal line - least squares best-fit regression line for SNOW vs NAM, calculated using all days with observations, including those with zeros amount
