The minimal use of citations goes contrary to many of today's papers that are mulched with bibliography in support of limited text. Some of that is a reflection of the author's direct experience in the subject.<br /><br />My feeling is that a variable volume of flow (river discharge volume over distance; (11, q) in the paper) over years has an effect on time of ice formation. <br /><br />In years of higher water volume (potentially due to previous precipitation and resulting higher water tables) the date of freeze may be later. A plot of estimated discharge versus freeze may reflect this if data are available.<br /><br />GaryNL7Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874712728971005352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-29886138418780906032015-10-17T20:33:32.005-08:002015-10-17T20:33:32.005-08:00My obs.

Can't put a value on each.<br /><br />Did live next to the spring fed (39F year round) Delta Clearwater River. No ice mid-river going downstream until -40-50's air temps and clear in late 1975. Then it froze on the bottom first accompanied by the surface frazil and eventually the whole channel...top to bottom...except for an open hollow culvert-like channel between the surface and the bottom near the shore where I drilled to get water. Once it warmed to -20 or so it melted except for a thin intermittent surface covering. Did get to -63F that spell. Kept a thermometer in the outhouse as a reminder.<br /><br />GaryNL7Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874712728971005352noreply@blogger.com
