Daily hydrological trend analysis

Python code used as part of a research project and dissertation for the MSc Environmental Modelling at UCL.

Streamflow, rainfall, snowmelt and temperature data from 207 catchments in Norway were analysed using a daily trend analysis procedure developed by Kormann et al., 2014. For the Mann-Kendall test and Sen's Slope Estimator the USGS trend module was used.

Contents:

• Selection of catchments and assesments of data quality
• Annual trend analysis
• Daily trend analysis with significance level and without significance level and plotting
• Annual and daily field significance
• Various figures of trends and altitude dependence
