Streamflow for VHM−10
Figure 5. Median monthly snowpack, snowmelt, rain and streamflow at gauging station VHM-10 in cold, warm,
wet and dry years and in the 1971–2000 period. Comparison between warm and cold years (left) and between
wet and dry years (right). Months with significant differences between subsets are shown with a triangle (10%
level) and a square (5% level). A dot (•) denotes insignificant changes. – Miðgildi mánaðarmeðaltals upp-

with dry years, in some months in winter and/or
spring, at a number of catchments located both in the
north and the south. A significant increase was also
found in wet years during the summer period, espe-
cially in August, except for the southern catchment
VHM-64 where there was no difference in that season.
Few significant changes were observed in autumn be-
tween wet and dry years.
Streamflow
Warm years often generated larger monthly stream-
flows than cold years in winter and spring, for river
basins with increased meltwater production and/or
greater amounts of precipitation falling as rain. For
non-glacierized catchments, a temperature increase
advanced the onset of spring snowmelt, therefore
spring discharge was larger in warm years than in cold
