<br />III. EXAMPLE ENTRY <br /> <br />To assist the user in understanding the forecast and adjustment lists, an interpretation of a sample <br />entry is provided below. <br /> <br /># name of location USGS id NWS id Apr <br /> adj(+###,-###) <br /> avg oct nov dec jan feb mar apr may jun ju1 aug sep -Ju1 <br />5 BEAR - HARER 10044000 HARJ:1 <br /> ADJ(+010,+029,+152) <br /> AVG 21 19.7 16.6 15.4 17.1 33 68 99 97 45 19,0 16.7 309 <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />number of the forecast point (points are sorted alphabetically) <br /> <br />BEAR - HARER <br /> <br />forecast point name (river - site) <br /> <br />10044000 <br /> <br />US Geological Survey station number <br /> <br />HARI1 <br /> <br />National Weather Service 5 character station identifier <br /> <br />ADJ(+010".. <br /> <br />List of numbered adjustments used with this point <br />(see list of adjustments for cross reference) <br /> <br />Starting with the observed (regulated) flow for Harer, <br />the scheme for calculating the II natural " flow for Harer is as follows: <br /> <br />+010 indicates to add adjustment # 010 from the adjustment list, that is: <br /> add 10 BEAR - WOODRUFF NARROWS RES, WOODRUFF, NR RES STORAGE <br />+029 indicates to add adjustment # 029 <br /> add 29 CHAPMAN CAN - EVANSTON, NR, STATELINE, AT STREAMFLOW <br />+152 indicates to add adjustment # 152 <br /> add 152 SULPHUR CK - SULPHUR CK RES RES STORAGE <br /> <br />In English, the observed flow of the Bear River at Harer, Idaho is regulated or affected by the change in <br />storage at Woodruff Narrows Reservoir, the diversion of flow by Chapman Canal, and the change in storage at <br />Sulphur Creek Reservoir. When reservoirs are filling (storing water), the adjustment made on the downstream <br />point is positive (i.e., the flow at Harer would have been higher if not for the reservoir). Conversely, when <br />reservoirs are being tapped or drained for use, the adjustment on the downstream point is negative (i.e., the <br />flow at Harer would have been lower at this time of the year if not for the reservoir). Diversions may also be <br />negative adjustments, as in cases where water is diverted into the basin from an adjacent watershed. In this <br />example with Harer, the diversion adjustment is positive. <br /> <br />AVG <br /> <br />21 19.7..... <br /> <br />12 monthly volume averages plus April-July total. <br />Period of calculation is 1961-90 and volume units are <br />thousands of acre-feet (kaf) <br /> <br />21 October average <br />19.7 November average <br /> <br />16.7 September average <br />309 April-July total average (commonly, this is the forecast period) . <br /> <br />5 <br />
