District 26 <br />The overall stream flow correlations exhibit some interesting connections in the <br />area but one that is most notable is the AMO where negative values tend towards positive <br />values of stream flow. Also of note is the lack of excessively dry years as well with <br />negative compared to positive years (Figure 7). Secondary, but weaker index values that <br />correlate to stream flow include the ENSO (SOI/MEI) variables as well. <br />Figure 7. Comparison of April- September naturalized stream flow at Saguache Creek <br />with the preceding August- October AMO values. <br />Division 20 <br />On the main stem of the Rio Grande above Del Norte, the long -term naturalized <br />average flow on the river is 20 times that of District 26. However, a look at the overall <br />apparent influence of the HCl variables indicated that the AMO is a notable term to look <br />at in terms of assessing stream flows in the District (see Figure 8). The same basic <br />tenants with District 26 exist in District 20 as well. As for other HCl variables, the <br />ENSO and NAO values have some `non - random' impact but, not the outright influence <br />the AMO appears to exert on a larger scale. <br />District 35 <br />Although the AMO still appears to be interesting in this District. Very firm <br />relationships appear to exist between the NAO and the observed runoff. Figure 9 shows <br />this relationship in a graphical format. <br />14 <br />
