Summary

Evaluating annual peak streamflows against precipitation and the Palmer Drought Severity Index can be useful in determining if trends are present in peak streamflows. This script is intended for stand-alone example operation for quick visualization of annual peak streamflow time series data with comparisons to contemporaneous monthly climatologic data. However, the script does require functions from script `vispk_example.R` that is anticipated to be a separate code example that could accompany the `breedClimate_example.R` code. Critically important is that the logic from `vispk_example.R` has been repeated at the top of `breedClimate_example.R`, so technically the former script is not needed. This code is an example for one site. [...]
